4.5⭐️ really enjoyed this book, the way it delved into morals and the characters motivations and the escalation was great. Looking forward to the last book!

these toxic authority figures angered me to no end but it’s okay because the two seconds viola and todd were together made up for all of it. i’m so incredibly excited to read the third book and see how this world and this story will finally be concluded

While a different kinda beast of a story from the first book, this one really delves into the monstrous nature of tyranny, oppression and mass control, and Mayor Prentiss is certainly more interestingly terrifying and sinister in 'Ask' than in 'Knife' precisely because he's always about 5 steps ahead of Todd no matter what the situation, practically living in Todd's head 24/7. Because of this, he seems to know all and his ability to manipulate is god-level. That alone was both maddeningly frustrating and nail-bitingly exciting, building the plot up to a chaotic crescendo, where I constantly feared for the lives of the two heroes.
Todd and Viola go through so much in this book, I hope they get some peace by the end of the trilogy.
