Endgame: The final book in the groundbreaking series, Noughts & Crosses (Noughts and Crosses, 6)

Product Information

I saw the ‘shocking’ news of who murdered Dan Jeavons coming a mile off, so I ended up feeling a bit deflated. What I do love most about Endgame is each character has their own story to tell that evenly winds in well with one another, it isn’t solely centred around one character and their journey. I can hardly believe it is now twenty years and five more books later - Blackman's final delve into her parallel world with the sixth book in the series 'Endgame'.

Everything was wrapped up - all the questions we had been holding on to for books were finally answered - and I loved it.I almost forgot to say that 😂😂) I'm glad to be leaving this series on a positive note, because it truly has had its ups and downs. This final book in Blackman’s Noughts and Crosses series, picks up right where the previous book, Crossfire, left off with its high-tension cliff-hanger. This gives you a variety of characters to love and urgently want to protect as you watch them go through their twisted path of life.

This really doesn’t add much to the Noughts and Crosses series, and doesn’t contribute to the changing perspectives of racism that the earlier books attempted. What’s more, the character of Libby also explores the way in which history is taught in regard to race, and the issues of not teaching Black British history in schools.

All of the plot points lead towards a traumatic and dramatic conclusion, but this was one of the few times I had to backtrack with a book because so much was going on.

I recognised the problems highlighted between chapters as very real and current which draws attention to the fact this is not all fiction and we live with these adversities day to day. I also feel like there was just so much going on in this book, and I struggled to follow every aspect of the story by the end without thinking about all of their characters and their motivations. Though quite different in matter compared to Noughts and Crosses, the main principle is still there and the writing is as good as ever.

Following the BBC TV adaptation last year, it has garnered even more attention and fans, along with Malorie Blackman winning the lifetime achievement award from the YA Book Prize earlier this year.
