![]() ![]() Their fates (as proclaimed by the oracles) seem to dictate too much of their path in life, and they’re both so stubbornly independent that they go on with life with their heads held high even as their hearts are breaking. ![]() In the midst of it all, Cyra feels like Akos’s fate dictates his feelings for her. Turmoil exists at every turn, and tragic mistakes are made. Will it be Isae? Will it be Cyra, who has taken the throne for her fallen brother? Or will it be Cyra’s evil father Lazmet, back from the dead? And how do the Oracles fit into the mix? At times, it seems they are merely using their visions to orchestrate the future they desire. It’s basically a battle for who will rule their universe. ![]() I always include a little plot summary at this point in my review, but it’s hard to sum this one up. Eventually, a plot development intrigued me enough that it was worth the wait. I wasn’t interested in what was happening until nearly the halfway point in the book, yet surprisingly, I’m glad I stuck with it. This sequel got off to an agonizingly slow start. They started off with a bang-a promising story with some mysteries about which I was dying to know the answers-but in the end, Roth couldn’t quite deliver. Even though the subject matter was much different than Roth’s Divergent series, I saw similarities as far as how both series progressed. Unlike many readers, I enjoyed Carve the Mark, the first book in this series. ![]() No spoilers in this review of The Fates Divide by Veronica Roth. ![]()
