I found this book really quite difficult to read so it's taken me a lot longer to read than the first book. 

Big trigger warning for physical and emotional abuse, slavery, torture and genocide.

“Cuz how do you know yer alive if you don't hurt?”

Actual rating: 4.5 stars

What an amazing sequel to The Knife of Never Letting Go! As usual, Patrick Ness' writing is palpable and searing that it'll leave you at the edge of your seat, wanting to read more and more. The book further tackles the social commentary on colonization, genocide, and war.

If you're looking for a fast-paced, action-packed read. Pick this series up ASAP!
