The Ask and the Answer

As riveting as the first book. A key theme in this installment is “we are the choices we make,” which often serves to illustrate how most things in life are not black and white. There is not simply good vs. evil, but rather many shades of grey in between. And how do you cope with that reality when you are merely 14? When you are forced to make life-changing decisions, without knowing which possibility is more “right”? I'll be interested to see how Ness ties everything up in the third book. . . .
