A knife takes a decision out of your hand and puts it in the world and it never goes back again.
I devoured this book. I read it all in a day, and for good reason. Patrick Ness is an author who never fails to capture my attention so completely, nor to driver blow after emotional blow. Thankfully, this read wasn't too heavy, but I'm sure my continuation of the series will change that, for better or worse.
Todd Hewitt, good fucking luck.
