Aliens should be done extremely well for me to like it.Ģ. I was even hard pressed to find an okay quote to represent it.ġ. No, thank you! I did not like anything about this story. You had to leave that up to the women with the thread." "That was where the Spinners had come in, because you didn't get to decide to be born, or when or how long you lived, or when you died. The concept in Inertia of being able to have a last visitation where you can share your greatest memories - is something so out of the box and different you can't help but like it.Ĭombining this great, different idea with something so profound as depression and bringing fourth this short compelling story proves how talented Roth is. 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 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.
