The second book carries on directly from Todd and VIola's adventures across New world and the bleak, panicked tone off the final heart wrenching chapter spreads thickly into The Ask and The Answer. After reading and thoroughly enjoying this book I was both excited and anxious to get my hands on the next. The first novel, The Knife of Never Letting Go received both the Guardian's Children's fiction prize and the BookTrust teenage prize. The Ask and the Answer is the second in the chaos walking trilogy by acclaimed author Patrick Ness. Soon Todd must ask himself: How can you fight the beast, when the beast has become yourself? Action by action Todd is being broken down into an unfeeling monster. Frustrated by a lengthening separation, circumstances leads them on very different paths and down desperate routes. Patrick Ness, in his gripping sequel to Knife of Never Letting Go takes the reader on a journey, not about two friends and their much tested bond of love, but also into the human psyche of a teenage boy and girl as they leave the warmth of innocence and enter the blazing fire of adulthood. However, if they think things are bad they are about to get an awful lot worse.
