Ark (Forward collection) Kindle Edition

by Veronica Roth (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

325 ratings

Audible narration by Evan Rachel Wood (Westworld)
On the eve of Earth’s destruction, a young scientist discovers something too precious to lose, in a story of cataclysm and hope by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Divergent trilogy.

It’s only two weeks before an asteroid turns home to dust. Though most of Earth has already been evacuated, it’s Samantha’s job to catalog plant samples for the survivors’ unknowable journey beyond. Preparing to stay behind and watch the world end, she makes a final human connection.

As certain doom hurtles nearer, the unexpected and beautiful potential for the future begins to flower.

Veronica Roth’s Ark is part of Forward, a collection of six stories of the near and far future from out-of-this-world authors. Each piece can be read or listened to in a single thought-provoking sitting.

Meh!

Reviewed in India on 6 April 2020

Such a boring story. Started with a very unique premise but then eased into a lazy story with and unimpressive ending. Worst of the forward series so far!

So clichè.

Reviewed in India on 24 September 2019

So Veronica Roth clichè.

The writing style is fine but the character development and the plot are so repetitive. Dystopian, controlled world. People are chosen/selected. The earth is going to get destroyed soon. Everything natural on earth is coming to an end.

Sadly, it couldn't hold my interest. It becomes really monotonous after the first 5 pages and the characters are so so. The ending is really bad. Like a story was just starting and it ended out of nowhere.

Pretty Average But Not Bad

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 January 2021

This was a pretty average short story about the end days of Earth as a asteroid hurtles towards the planet. Specifically it's about one young woman, Samantha, who instead of evacuating the planet with the last of the humans wants to remain to witness the end of Earth from a small sail boat in the Arctic Sea; until she befriends a man with a similar plan who makes her question her decision.

<i>“You have to hold just a few things dear, because that’s what love is. Particular. Specific.”</i>

The story touches on some pretty heavy topics. Love, grief, what it is to be alive... It makes you pause to think, but not enough to let you dwell on the lessons it's teaching properly. I guess you could say it suffers from being a short story. I would have liked more of everything despite it being well written and wrapped up rather neatly.

Decent Start

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 February 2020

Verified Purchase

I started with this book and although I gave it only a 3 it was still a good read. Because of the short length, it does make it trickier for the author to build the story up, but I still feel they did a good job with introducing us to the key characters and especially the main women who ultimately needs to decide whether she will stay on earth or leave with the rest of humanity. All in all, it was a decent way to start the collection.

The dilemma to live or die

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 December 2020

Verified Purchase

Quite an interesting concept behind this short story that challenges ideas about the value of life. Having read this a couple of weeks ago, the plot is still memorable to me (which suggests it was a good piece of writing) although I would have liked to have felt a deeper connection to the main character who wasn't quite as three-dimensional as I would have hoped her to be.

There were some thought-provoking observations about life made by Roth in this story which stopped me in my tracks and made me ponder on the significance of life. My main criticism is that, with such an interesting idea behind it, I wish the characters had been developed slightly more and the ending had been fleshed out more fully.

Not what I was expecting. Slow paced beauty not fast paced thrills.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 September 2019

Verified Purchase

Not what I was expecting from Veronica Roth and I think some younger readers and/or Trish Prior fans may be disappointed. I suspect my action loving teenage boys might be particularly expecting something different. However, I loved the beautifully written pictorial descriptions. It kind of reminded me of the beautiful writing in Sheri Holman's Witches on the Road Tonight. That ultimately there's hope, regardless of what the future brings. Five stars from me.
