Esta breve precuela profundiza en la historia de Viola. Me encantó que de mas detalles de quién comenzó siendo un personaje bastante misterioso. Desgraciadamente es un poco molesto que en una historia tan breve haya tanto flashback.

That's one hell of a short story! Ladies and gentlemen, this is how you write a fantastic short story in just 24 pages. Patrick Ness is a literary god, I just had to say it! Ness's books always manage to carry an emotional punch and The New World is no different. Even though I knew how everything wa...

This is super short. It's interesting to imagine being in Viola's situation before landing, but there's nothing too surprising. It reminded me for obvious reasons of Beth Revis' books.

‘Is it because hope is scary?’ my father asked. I looked back at him, startled. ‘You think so, too?’ He smiled, full of love. ‘Hope is terrifying, Viola,’ he said. ‘No one wants to admit it, but it is.’ I feel my eyes go wet again. ‘Then how can you standit? How can you bear even thinking it...

This is super short, which is why it's probably free. I didn't know about this until after I read The Knife of Never Letting Go. Normally, prequels should be read before the first book but I think this was much better after having read book 1. If I had read this first, it would have ruined so much o...

I know I'm crazy late but WOW. This prequel is different than any book (really novella) I've ever read. The author continues to jump back-and-forth between the "present" and the past. I really like that he chose to incorporate the flashbacks that way. When I read the words on the page unfold like a ...

Dramatic prequel to "The Knife of Letting Go" and the collective "Chaos Walking" Trilogy. This was my introduction to Patrick Ness some time ago when I downloaded this for free as an Amazon Kindle purchase. This short story tells of how Viola, one of the main characters in the Trilogy, arrives to ...
