So We Need to Talk About Veronica Roth...

Alright. Most of us have probably read Divergent. Maybe even the rest of the series. I stopped after Insurgent because like, mental illness was kicking my ass at the time, but I'm about to do a read with a Discord group I'm in and I'm pumped. Not to mention The Sixth Faction coming out later this year? Sign me up.

Tomorrow, May 12, is the release date for Seek the Traitor's Son by Veronica Roth. This. Book. If you read romantasy, you'll probably enjoy it. Let me speak now to those who do not typically read romantasy. A lot of you know that romance on main is not my vibe, certainly not if it's straight romance. But I was so entranced by the other aspects of this world that Veronica Roth created (the actual world, the cultures, the politics, everything) that the romance came second for me. It's dystopian, it's magical, and it's something I firmly believe you should add to your TBR. I rated it 5/5 stars. I had a great time with it and literally couldn't put it down (read almost the majority of it in 5.5 hours).

But I'm also on my Veronica Roth journey. See, I do this thing where I get really into an author's work and have to read all of their backlist before moving on. So. I've just read Carve the Mark, a YA book. Again, YA is not really my jam, but I ate. This. Up. Literally couldn't put it down! I already bought The Fates Divide so I could immediately finish the duology. I'm also working on To Clutch a Razor, which is the sequel to When Among Crows (another book of hers I adored). Chosen Ones and Poster Girl are also on deck.

All this to say: if you're looking for something with rich world building, I highly suggest you check her work out.

New release post coming tomorrow! Till next time!
