Todd runs with his dog, told to go to the next settlement where he will find answers, but the Mayor and his people aren’t content Todd get away. I’m the one who allows it and I’m the one responsible.” “As long as I hold it as long as I use it, the knife lives, lives in order to take life, but it has to be commanded, it has to have me to tell it to kill, and it wants to, it wants to plunge and thrust and cut and stab and gouge, but I have to want it to as well, my will has to join with its will. However there are secrets being kept in Prentisstown and after Todd finds a space where there is no Noise, only silence, his guardians finally send him away, on the run from Prentisstown and the Mayor himself.
Todd is a month away from his thirteenth birthday and once he reaches it he will finally become a man in the eyes of the town. Todd is the last boy in Prentisstown, a place where all the women have long since died from the virus which gave the men Noise and allowed others to hear their thoughts. The blurb doesn’t give much away and I’ll try not to give much away in my review either because my favourite part of this book, this whole series actually, was going in and not knowing where the story would take me and I don’t want to take that experience away from anyone who has yet to pick up the Chaos Walking series. Like with all the other Patrick Ness books I’ve read the best thing about this book is going into it blind. Luckily The Knife of Never Letting Go, as well as the two following books, more than lived up to my expectations. Everyone seemed to love it so it was impossible to not have my expectations raised sky high. The first thing you find out when yer dog learns to talk is that dogs don’t got nothing much to say.Įven before I picked up my first Patrick Ness book at the end of last year I’d heard nothing but amazing things about the Chaos Walking trilogy. Set before the events of The Knife of Never Letting Go, it is the story of Viola’s dramatic journey to the New World. The new edition of this unflinching novel about fear, flight and the terrifying path of self-discovery features the short story, The New World.
