Fire is the last of her kind; a human monster. Blessed with exceptional beauty, and with this comes influence and power. But Fire’s awareness of the potential of this, such as abuse of power, and her own moral compass has set her living away from people, not only to protect them, but to protect herself from their attention. But when the Dells faces war, Fire must face her doubts and conquer her fears in order to right the wrongs of the past and to help the kingdom. Fire, the prequel companion book to ‘Graceling’, is a fantastic book which had me excited and captivated by the unique story early into the novel. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting a good young adult read.

Todd Hewitt is the last boy in Prentisstown. He is one month away from turning 13, the official age a boy turns into a man. The citizens of Prentisstown are used to the Noise, the constant stream of thoughts and emotions that are shared among all men, caused by the germ which killed all females. But when Todd finds a silent place outside of town, he knows that something is wrong. So, now he must run.
This is a marvellous story which was hard to put down. The clever style which it is written allows for the reader to experience everything through Todd’s point of view – the confusion, the chaos, the emotions he experiences as he discovers more about his hometown… The Knife of Never Letting Go was filled to the brim with adventure, excitement and suspense. I would highly recommend it.
