The Ask and the Answer

The Knife of Never Letting Go ???????????????The Ask and the Answer ???????????????

In this second book of the trilogy, we are in new territory for me. When I originally received this trilogy as a gift I never made it past the first book.

The plot is distinctly separated into two halves, one for Viola and one for Todd. Todd is grappling with figuring out the truth and the overwhelming strength of the Mayor. His whole world view was turned upside down in the first book, and he wants to deeply to find out it was all a lie and accept an easy truth. Viola knows exactly where she stands in the civil war brewing in this second book. She has those beliefs challenged and has to quickly decide who she is going to believe and trust. Throughout it all, the unwavering connection between Todd and Viola was so incredibly compelling. I adored this series so far, and highly recommend it.
