the end and other beginnings by veronica roth

This short story just again prove why I fell in love with her writing. I've forgotten how easy it is to fall into the worlds Roth creates. I'm carried in a straight line toward youĪ force I can't resist don't want to resist I must say the illustrations in this anthology is superb! It gives the stories a little something extra. The only weakness I can find is she is better at writing from the female characters point of view. Having it in black and white is a perfect choice. The art work in the book is awsome and complements the stories perfect.

Veronica Roth has a gift for writing dark/scifi stories with tourchered characters who I can help but root for. This story was slow to ok where as the others were good to great. I though this was a bit of a downer to finish on.

The sixth story was also set in the Carve the mark universe but introduces a new character far away from the main characters. This is almost a story of two halves.the first part I though was great the second part was a bit slower and was just ok. The fifth story is set in the Carve the mark universe and has the back story story and a untold tale of a couple of the main characters. I would have been interested in any of these being expanded into series. The dark scifi and characters looking to get through their lives was great. I really enjoyed most of this book the first 4 stories I though were great. It is difficult to rate and review books of short stories as there are some I like more then others, but to rate them as a whole. With beautifully intricate black-and-white interior illustrations and a uniquely designed package, this is the perfect gift for book lovers. Each story begins with a hope for a better end, but always end with a better understanding of the beginning. With tales of friendship and revenge, plus two new stories from the Carve the Mark universe, this collection has something for new and old fans alike. In these six stories, Veronica Roth reaches into the unknown and draws forth something startlingly familiar and profoundly beautiful. And yet, for all the advances in these futuristic lands, the people still must confront deeply human problems.

Within this masterful collection, each setting is more strange and wonderful than the last, brimming with new technologies and beings. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR, VERONICA ROTH! Bestselling Divergent and Carve the Mark author Veronica Roth delivers a stunning collection of novella-length stories set in the future, illustrated with startling black-and-white artwork.
