Excerpt from Carve the Mark
Thank you for joining me for these annotations! It was so much fun to dive back into the Divergent series again.
If you’re into arena fights, or romances that grow from mutual respect and understanding, or stories about rebelling against the system, or delightful friend banter, you’ll probably enjoy the Carve the Mark series, too. There are exclusive alternate scenes for Carve the Mark here as a bonus: https://www.goodreads.com/author_blog_posts/17781085-exclusive-alternate-scenes-from-carve-the-mark-including-cyra-s-and-akos.
Happy reading!

That is death—shifting from “is” to “was.”
Oof—this is one of the parts of the book that doesn’t age so well, for me. Not this quote, which is simple and true, but the way Al’s death is handled and the way Tris thinks of it. She calls Al a coward, which is later reinforced by Tobias—definitely not the mindset I have about people who die by suicide now. You always write from the place where you are, for better or worse, and that can be hard—because the words are stuck that way, they don’t change, and you realize the harm they might still do in the world. But you also can’t be perfect. So all that’s left for me to do is acknowledge it
