By Patrick Ness
This book is based around Todd and Viola, two teenagers caught up in a new world of war. They try to stop two ferocious armies from tearing each other apart, while an ever-growing army waits and watches on the side lines to choose the perfect moment to attack.
This book is very action-packed and goes into the feelings of Todd, and he shows his true colours in this book. It is a mixture of romance and action and be prepared to fall in love with Todd! Davy Prentiss starts out as an all around baddy but in the end he turns out to be a true hero. The Mayor was always a shifty character, especially with his ever-growing power.
The Authour uses the men's 'noise' to show their feelings and how they really think. I think this is one of the many aspects that makes this book and easy winner of the Carnegie Medal Award. It's not about what they portray, it's about their actual honesty and how it really can be used in advantage and disadvantage.
I really liked this book and I found that reading the series (from start to finish) made the book even better. I felt like I was standing right next to the characters and I felt so emotional when things went wrong. I was dragged in page by page and I wish in future to become a great fan of Patrick Ness and his amazing imagination!
