CHARACTERS The Ask and the Answer READ & DOWNLOAD Í The Ask and the Answer Impossible choices when forced to join the mayor's oppressive new regime In alternating narratives the two struggle to reconcile their own dubious actions with their deepest beliefs Torn by confusion and compromise suspicion and betrayal can their trust in each other possibly survive. I won t lie I am really disappointed in and exhausted by this novel The Ask and the Answer is very little like the first book in the trilogy The Knife of Never Letting Go If the first one is a fast paced chase kind of story which keeps you hooked by gradual revelation of the New World s mysteries of Noise Haven Viola s origin etc this book is basically an account of a civil war between Mayor Prentiss s army and the resistance called here the Answer The book raises various issues of genocide war ethics torture and holding onto one s identity under pressure All issues are interesting but I find myself surprisingly uninterested in them mainly because in this book I am strangely detached from Todd and Viola In these tough circumstances they are nothing than naive petulant children used as pawns in various evil plans They are described as so strongly attached that they are willing to do almost anything for one another and yet they are so easily led to mistrust each otherThis mistrust constantly gets them and people around them in trouble it s painful to read I think pretty much in this book you simply can t find even one likable person Todd is the one I dislike the most at this point No matter how hard the author tries to make us believe that Todd still holds on to his innocence and thus is better than everybody else it s pretty hard to swallow when you know what Todd has done for no good reason other than his dear girlfriend left himIn addition there are the same plot holes as in the first book I still don t understand the specialness of Todd there is still a lot of build up and allusions to various secrets that end up being not that interesting or importantI have to give Ness some credit for skillfully creating an atmosphere of urgency in his books and showing that nobody is truly innocent in war but unfortunately this just isn t enough for me Gray shades are great in theory but I would like to see some clearer morality in my books especially in the books written for young adults I find that at this point the only side I would want to succeed in the story is Spackle Not sure if Ness meant it this way thoughReading challenge 1 N

CHARACTERS The Ask and the Answer READ & DOWNLOAD Í The Ask and the Answer Part two of the literary sci fi thriller follows a boy and a girl who are caught in a warring town where thoughts can be heard and secrets are never safe Reaching the end of their flight in THE KNIFE OF NEVER LETTING GO Todd and Viola did not find healing and hope in Haven They found. okay so i loved the knife of never letting go but this one was somehow even betteroh jeez i am afraid i am just going to write a gushing fangirl review here does anyone mindi 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 themselvesbecause there is a great deal of depth up in herethe action of this book takes place after a colossal thing happens which separates viola and todd and this book is a split narrative between the two of them as they are pursuing their individual paths to selfhood under extreme duress and uncertaintyvague rightbut it is so well handled ness can actually write viola and todd sound like two different characters and fully developed characters with insights and psychologies all their own at that and i love them both so much fangirl sueee the scope of the book has widened the first book starts out as a sort of smalltown pastoral with creepy dark religiouscultish overtones while this one expands to re emphasize the earlier themes of colonialism and clannishness but to build upon those themes with the politics of war and love and betrayal and sacrifice oh the sacrifices and helplessness and growth and trust and just all of it all leading up to the most amazing cliffhanger of tolkien esue proportionsit made my head go aaaahhhhhhthe best moments in these books are the small revelations the tiny realizations not even the big game changing events although those are phenomenal but as viola and todd are separately coached under uestionable authority figures which are shaping their character but still managing to retain their individual sparks that make them such strong characters and while trying so hard just to get back to each other the tiny reveals that pepper this story as they bildungs their roman are genuinely surprising and so devastating shiverybecause they spend most of this novel apart this becomes a novel about faith faith in the beloved other because while technically not a YA romance because there isn t any kissing it has the perfect shape to become one the first book is spent fighting together towards a common goal learning each others strengths and weaknesses making sacrifices sob to protect the Other comforting each other and never letting the other lose hope or give upit is a perfect foundationthis chapter has them apart developing their own personal codes in the middle of this new situation and creating a sort of armor around themselves to protect themselves from outside influence to keep the faith in the other safe until they can be together again which adds the layer of independence so fundamental to a successful romance none of this twilight self sacrifice twaddleit s just gorgeous i hate the things that happen to todd throughout as he struggles to balance his humanity while giving up portions of it just to stay alive and although viola s situation seems less dangerous on the surface it is only adroitly manipulated and so her ultimate realizationbetrayal is even powerful for itaaahhhhhthere is too much in this book and it is all in my hearti am trying to read the third book really slowly so i never have to leave this worldthere are probably useful reviews out there this is just be babbling don t let me slow you down on your path to this book go nowcome to my blog
