The Ask and the Answer (Chaos Walking #2)
This trilogy is so freaking brutal I'm just sitting here trying to convince my heart to keep on. I am so stressed. "Read books!" they said. "It'll be fun!" they said. Well I am. so. stressed. I really love that this had no sniff of sequel blues though, despite being...ya know, blue as a book itself. I do think it was a bit long and the tedium of Viola's and Todd's separate work situations could've been faster but other wise: WOW. I'M OBSESSED.THINGS IN PARTICULARLY I LOVE: never going to get
One taught me love, one taught me patience, one taught me pain.These books are only teaching me PAIN and STRESS
okay, so i loved the knife of never letting go but this one was somehow even better.oh, jeez, i am afraid i am just going to write a gushing fangirl review here. does anyone mind?i will try to avoid saying anything too specific, because this book is such a gem, i want everyone to sort of discover its folds and depths for themselves.because there is a great deal of depth up in here.the action of this book takes place after a colossal thing happens which separates viola and todd. and this book is
It's 4.5 stars. Not perfect 5 stars because the first part was a little slow and boring for me, but THEN the final chapters were so awesome and full of twists and turns and UGHHH Patrick Ness just loves to kill the characters I like!Anyway, this book was so much better than the first one! I think that's because we get to know (not really, though) mayor Prentiss. He's one of the best villains EVER.Also, I ship Todd and Viola so much.
"So, who are you then, Todd Hewitt?" He says. "What makes you so special?" Now that, I think, is a very good asking." What a crazy ending! I enjoyed this one a lot more than the first. I was more invested in Todd and Viola's characters, and accustomed to the writing style so I could fully focus on the story. Yay for second books!So Todd and Viola found their way to Haven only to discover it was not the safe land they were hoping for. Pitted back against Todd's old nemesis Mayor Prentiss, Todd
I imagine Viola, reluctant healer, the worst in fact, bumbling around; Todd working, slaving away. And I imagine their growing closeness despite everything thats going on around them; despite the forced physical distance between them. This book is a such a visceral experience. And it's more. I read it and I see everything in my minds eye. Not stills; I have a movie playing in my head. I sort of gag when I think of the stench from the Spackles corner in the morning. I can almost catch a whiff of

(re-read - May 2019)I forgot just how shocking this book is and how many plot twists Ness manages to fit in a single book. Usually the second book in a series suffers from the second book syndrome where it's the worst in the series but by far, this one is absolutely the best. If you haven't read this series yet please try it!--------------(1st read - June 2017)Favourite book in this series!After reading Patrick Ness' More than this, (my favourite book of his) The rest of us just live here, and aThis trilogy is so freaking brutal I'm just sitting here trying to convince my heart to keep on.
