So it's a retelling of Antigone, but it's set in the distant future.

The Fates Divide--Veronica Roth
Y'all I have so many feelings... So many. I loved it! I loved the plot twists (which I guessed were coming, but I loved how they were revealed). I loved playing out all of the possibilities of how certain scenes that I knew were coming. I loved thinking how conversations could play out, and then finding out that what I imagined wasn't close to what actually happened. I loved getting into Cyra and Ako's heads and feeling what they felt. I loved being them while I read it, because I love becoming someone else when I'm reading, completely forgetting about myself for a moment (I swear it's not an unhealthy coping mechanism) It had the rush of the amazing YA, and I loved the ending.480 Pages

Carve the Mark by Veronica Roth
I love Cyra and how she sees herself, because I understand it so deeply. She is me and I am her. I see myself the way she sees herself, or at least I used to (and I still do sometimes). She is fierce and I love her. I love the chemistry between Akos and Cyra. Honestly Akos is husband goals... Gentlemen, take notes. I am not kidding. There are passages I want you to repeat back to me.
I didn't expect myself to love this book, and I actually listened to it first in my pile of audiobooks because I wanted to get it out of the way... ha ha. But my heart. I can't even right now. I have so many feelings...And I feel like I can't trust Veronica Roth for reasons which will not be named (as in I'm afraid something is going to happen, not that something has happened--because no spoilers).
I may or may not have texted my Hufflepuff at least twenty text messages detailing my feelings in both word and gif form...
As a side note, Austin Butler's voice is beautiful, and I would marry it.
