This book was a roller coaster of a read with many dramatic situations. It will be interesting to see if these two new characters emerge as an important component in the resolution of the last book. Neither society supports it and they escape into the ocean together. A human and a spackle have learned to love. What Left me wanting more: At the end of the book, there is a side story about the beginning of the war with the Spackles. It will be interesting to see if they can recover from the actions for which they have been complicit. There are no clear heroes this time around. They both slide into morally gray areas as they become active members doing things, they think are wrong. Viola and Todd find themselves separated on either side of extremist groups. What they find instead is a city of over 3,000 people that had things plump and easy for long enough that just on the rumor of a few hundred soldiers marching their way, they thought it safest to hand over their city. Todd and Viola dared to hope that the answer to their problems would be over when they reached Haven. The Ask and the Answer is the gripping second installment in the Chaos Walking Trilogy.
