Maybe some people will like the “this is not determined by fate”, but I personally felt like it undermined all the build up of these fates by failing to deliver on their promise. Not something that felt like it brushed the concept under the rug. I wanted it to be something clever or devastating in the finale. When it came, it felt like such a cop-out. There had been such a heavy presence of Akos’ fate in the first book, and in the build up to the twist. It just felt too scattered, like the plot didn’t have a driving focus.Ībout the 40% mark, the “big twist” about the fates comes in, and it was pretty disappointing. THE FATES DIVIDE was a book I pushed myself through. In a stunning twist, the two will discover how fate defines their lives in ways most unexpected. For Cyra, that could mean taking the life of the man who may-or may not-be her father. And when Cyra’s father, Lazmet Noavek-a soulless tyrant, thought to be dead-reclaims the Shotet throne, Akos believes his end is closer than ever.Īs Lazmet ignites a barbaric war, Cyra and Akos are desperate to stop him at any cost. The fates, once determined, are inescapable.Īkos is in love with Cyra, in spite of his fate: He will die in service to Cyra’s family. The lives of Cyra Noavek and Akos Kereseth are ruled by their fates, spoken by the oracles at their births.
