Just finished "The Ask and the Answer", the second installment in Patrick Ness’s Chaos Walking trilogy.
What begins as a coming-of-age narrative—retaining that core—unfolds into a harrowing dystopian tale, evoking the chilling atmosphere of "The Handmaid’s Tale", yet with even more brutal stakes. The story confronts a world shaped by male fantasies of power, control, and the systematic oppression and eradication of others.
What’s most unsettling is how prescient the book feels, published in 2009 yet echoing today’s geopolitical and nationalistic currents. It lays bare the terrifying logic of dictatorship and the extremes of authoritarian ambition.
While the final pages revert to a more typical young adult tone, I’m eager to see how the trilogy concludes in "Monsters of Men".

A short story best to be read between „The Knife of Letting Go“ and „“The Ask and the Answer“ (Book 1 and 2 of the Chaos Walking Triology).

Just finished Book 1 of the Chaos Walking trilogy, "The Knife of Never Letting Go".
It’s a YA read built around a fascinating (and honestly exhausting) premise: in this world, you hear everyone’s thoughts. All the time. No off-switch. And following the constant “Noise” of an almost-13-year-old boy? Let’s just say… it’s an experience.
More often than not, I found myself frustrated—by the impulsive decisions, the bravado, the messy swirls of teenage “manliness.” But that’s also what makes the book feel so real. As the story itself puts it: “Men are Chaos walking.”
And after finishing this, I can’t help but agree.
It ends with a massive cliffhanger.

The Department Q series comes to a thrilling conclusion when the team must turn inward …
Content warning The mole, and loose ends.
Somehow, Bente Hansen suddenly became the main suspect — and I actually went back a few chapters to see if I’d missed something. But no, there were no hints or build-up, not in this book or any of the previous ones. It felt abrupt, almost random. I even suspected Marcus Jacobson before Carl suddenly decided, “It’s Bente.” Then there are the loose ends — Wayne? Femke? They simply disappear, leaving too many unanswered questions with the potential to revive them in future stories. It’s such a pity, because I’ve loved the overarching storyline since Book 1, and the potential here felt unfulfilled. That said, I’m too invested to quit now. I’ll definitely be picking up Book 11 next year — but for now, I think I need something completely different to read.
