I completed reading 'Carve the Mark' by Veronica Roth a few days ago. To be exact, two weeks ago. It is completely different from other science fiction stories that I've read so far. It is a duology, and I've read only the first part.
This galaxy had nine planets, and the story mainly revolves in a planet called Thuvhe/Urek. Each planet has different type of ruling, government and different people. The shotet and thuvhe, although living on same planet, don't agree on all things. The shotet are violent and war engaging and bloody, whereas the thuvhe are soft, kind farmers. Ryzek Noavek is the current leader of the shotet.Everyone in the galaxy had a special power called current gift. For some, the current gift may show up earlier than others; for some it may be a boon and for some, it could be a curse. Ryzek's sister, Cyra Noavek, possesses an unusual current gift, a gift that could make her cause pain to others.The current flows through her.
Everyone in the galaxy are defined by their fates. Akos was a peace loving thuvhe buy, son of an Oracle. His fate is to die serving the family of Noavek. (According to the first part.) He and his elder brother are kidnapped to Ryzek, who made Akos as Cyra's personal assistant because his current gift was to interrupt the current. Ryzek tries to make Eijeh his Oracle, but as this does not succeed, he trades his memories with him. This makes Eijeh and Ryzek the same person, only differing in their physiques. Akos is determined to help Eijeh get out of that place, no matter what. At first, relationship between Akos and Cyra is a little bit complicated, but eventually, things are settled. In fact, after his escape from the Shotet, Akos comes back to save Cyra from her brother, who uses her to fulfill his own obligations.
The story is really interesting. As one starts reading, all he would remember about his own world would be flipping the pages. When I was reading, I had actually sunken into the book. The culture of the Shotet is fascinating to read;a clan that adorns bravery and helds arena challenges. And the fact of people from nine planets travelling to visit each other's planet is attractive; in real life, we can't even handle space. Like the vacuum in space, their space had the currents flowing. Also, there's one more thing I noticed; Cyra has a few qualities of Tris. (from divergent, by the same author) Both of them are strong, they don't want anyone to define them, they want to be independent and finally, they are the ones who would have made a lot of sacrifices. I've admired both of these characters, and I hope you admire them too!
