Veronica Roth has always been questionable for me. Challenging our use of technology and illustrating a world surrounded by distant inventions in worlds that are almost unrecognizable, The End and Other Beginnings poses big questions and challenges readers more than many YA reads dare to. Telling stories of lost love, friendship, and even murder, Roth shares stories that each bring very unique and interesting teen voices for readers to enjoy-all simultaneously humorous and tragic. Each story in the anthology challenges our notions of the world and reinvents how we see the future. The End and Other Beginnings reads like Black Mirror targeted at young adult audiences. With disturbing and moving accounts of the effects of technology and life in the future, Roth delivers one of her most profound works yet. ![]() ![]() Now, Veronica Roth introduces readers into various new worlds in her anthology The End and Other Beginnings. And then came Carve the Mark, a fantastical, re-imagined world. First there was the world of Divergent, full of romance and breath-taking risks. ![]()
