We Can Be Mended (Divergent, #3.5)
by
by
I still remain partly damaged.
A little epilogue following the aftermath of Allegiant, five years after.
Was this ‘book’ really necessary? I’m not sure. Many say everything here was slightly implied in the ending of Allegiant. I didn’t see it.
Part of me is grateful because this indeed mended a part of me that was left severely damaged after the ending of Allegiant. Another part of me is repulsed by the fact that I hear this little addition was offered only exclusively for those who preordered the first book of Roth’s new series ‘Carve the Mark’, with the intent to boost sales. What a dick move.
Anyway. It’s a total wild card, it may even deepen the wound. Read at own risk.

Sigo estando en parte roto.
Un pequeño epílogo con las secuelas de lo sucedido luego de Leal, cinco años después.
¿Era este ‘libro’ realmente necesario? No estoy seguro. Muchos dicen que todo esto estaba levemente implícito en el final de Leal. Yo no lo vi.
Parte de mi está agradecido porque esto en verdad curó una parte de mí que quedó terriblemente dañada después del final de Leal. Otra parte de mí está asqueada por el hecho que escuché que esta pequeña adición fue ofrecida sólo exclusivamente para aquellos que pre compraban el primer libro de la nueva serie de Roth ‘Carve the Mark’, con la intención de incrementar las ventas. Que movida traicionera.
Lo que sea. Es un comodín impredecible, puede que incluso ahonde la herida. Leer a riesgo propio.

Crazy but yes, both indeed :x . Thank you Alexandra :) !
Thank you Thibault! That's the thing, as a reader I don't want to be 'tricked' into a new series I may have no interest in. I think ultimately what's wrong here is the exclusively part. If Roth had posted this on her website or sth and offered it also as a gift with the preorder of her new book, that would have looked very decent and a nice touch from her. Instead she does it the exclusively way, and just looks like a pitiful money grab. It's sad really.
This series had a type of ending you can never fully recover from :x . Thank you Mark!
Thank you Inci! Well I still have to review the 'Four' prequel books but I'm not feeling up to it. Might do after returning from my vacations xD
Thank you Inci! Well I still have to review the 'Four' prequel books but I'm not feeling ..."
Aw how nice, have a great vacation! I came back in September and already want to desperately leave again 😆
Oh yeah. Don't we all lol 😆
Thank you so much Tina <3 ! We have so many friends and reviews to read each day. I try to keep it as short and direct as I possibly can xD
Meh it happens. Still one of my fav YA series <3. Thank you Nora :) !
Yeah it was ok. Most people REALLY HATED it though xD. Thank you Srivalli !
Maybe it's for the best lol. Thank you Debra :) !
Well I'm not proud to say it Becs but since I didn't want to start and finish a new series just to read it I got it from one of those not so legit book hosting sites.
It was ok! Thank you Paulette :)
Ah no sabía de ese! Sí, parece que ese es el nuevo libro más reciente de Roth. GR dice que 'poster girl' es en efecto otra distopía más jaja. No sé, todavía como que todavía no la perdono por esta jugada mezquina que intentó acá, pero tal vez algún día le de una hojeada a algún otro de sus libros :p
De nada Celia! Un placer. No te voy a mentir, la mayoría de la gente lo odió y le dejó un sabor de boca peor que el de Leal; y eso ya es decir bastante. Y a mí tampoco me encantó, pero no lo odié, y entre dos finales semiamargos, la verdad que prefiero éste. Pero bueno eso es algo personal y no me arriesgo ni a adivinar cómo te puede caer a vos xD
Thank you Anne! After the repercussions of book 3 doubt she'd pull the same card again, like, ever! But yeah I can understand that, I too haven't read anything else by her since that day and not really looking forward to it neither; but may, someday xD
Maybe skip #3 altogether lol, it's not a very well received ending to the series. Thank you Coco :) !
Maybe it was for the best Ron! Sometimes it's better to quit while you are ahead. This is truly a very ill received epilogue. Most people hate it intensely, but it worked for me, a little :p
Yes it has a surprisingly low number of ratings O.o, but I guess it's for the better, most people seem to hate it anyway lol.
So many people hate this book so much I don't want to take any responsibility on it lol. Thank you Rachel! It wasn't the best ending for the series but still one of the greatest overall <3
Lamentablemente no, desde que terminé toda la serie Divergente no volví a tocar otro de sus libros. Y después que intentó encajarme Carve the Mark con esta cosa muchas ganas tampoco me quedaron jajaj, pero tal vez algún día! No lo descarto. Tiene algunas malas calificaciones, pero la mayoría parece ser por las expectativas que se arman por Divergente, eso no es culpa de la autora, las expectativas altas nunca ayudan. La mayoría de mis amigos parece haberlo calificado de 3 estrellas para arriba así que tan malo supongo no puede ser, pero bueno, pasa. Suerte si te decidís a intentarlo xD
Meh. Had worse.
Point taken! Although I think after publishing the third book in this wildly acclaimed bestseller trilogy she was already a mega-level superstar; but it's debatable, and I don't care enough to investigate her trajectory, or any other author's bio for that matter, I just read books lol :p
You too Justin! Have a good one :D
Sometimes it's better not to risk reopening old wounds :x ! Thank you PB !
Certainly could've worse :x . Thank you Rosh !!
It happens lol. Thank you Kay :) !
