If you haven’t read Knife, I certainly recommend it. Another benefit of being late to the party is there are literally hundreds of Internet reviews of The Knife of Never Letting Go available if you really don’t know anything about it. Todd is about to turn thirteen, the youngest boy in his village… On second thought, let’s skip the summary. Looking at the trilogy as a whole, I can be a lot more efficient. Had I read and reviewed Knife separately I would have spent a long time making points that would have been rendered thoroughly obsolete by the second book. I’m not as sensitive to cliffhangers as I used to be…but still, that was a very tall cliff and I was quite glad I only hung from it a day instead of a year.īut even leaving aside the cliffhanger, I was happy to have read the Chaos Walking trilogy all at once because the second two books turned out to be so different from the first. For one thing, Knife ends with a nearly unbearable cliffhanger. As I read the trilogy, however, I found that if anything the experience turned out to validate my approach.
Three years ago, Patrick Ness’ The Knife of Never Letting Go was the book everyone was talking about, but I waited until the Chaos Walking trilogy was finished before giving it a try. One reason is that it tends to mean arriving to conversations very late. Lately I’ve been thinking about giving up on this. It’s been about ten years since I decided I would do my best to avoid reading series until they are finished.
