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.

Some things have changed since book one, and it certainly seems that contemporary life/issues have worked their way in. I was left more than a little dissatisfied however, I don’t want to dismiss this book entirely as I love the series as a whole and there were certain elements of this particular story that I enjoyed. It’s a quick read, and some aspects of the story are interesting enough to keep you reading (well except for the last section which was just tedious), but nothing ever feels really involving, or satisfying in the way it is resolved. There were ten seats at Dan's dinner party the night he was killed and each guest had their own reasons for wishing him dead.

I liked the characters, but there were some aspects of this book where I felt like I should have felt more emotional than I was. Mel and Sid are determined to do this together, but they soon discover that pregnancy is totally different for boys and girls.

Throughout, I really didn’t want anything bad at all to happen to any of the characters, but I knew that this was highly unlikely, making Endgame even more heart-wrenching! I couldn’t have cared less about Eva, Jarvis or Stan, they weren’t even particularly villains, just collateral damage in this endless killing spree of a book. year-old Jake Marlesden's soldier brother has been killed while out in action in Afghanistan, and Jake is in love with Leila Khan, an Afghan girl. From the moment that I first read Noughts and Crosses three-and-a-half years ago, it has been my favourite series of all time, and has retained its position to this day. This book is almost 500 pages, but like the others in the series, it was super easy to read and really enjoyable.I knew there were lots of loose ends deliberately laid throughout the series that would have to be tied together in Endgame, even if I really didn’t want it to happen!

Any sixteen-year-olds would expect trouble, but this is Northern Ireland 2018, where abortion is still illegal.It still sticks to the alternating narrative, with more characters taking it in turns to show their perspective. From the very beginning of this series Malorie Blackman rips your heart out - I should’ve expected the ending but I somehow still didn’t, and still tried to convince myself that there was something more and that COULDNT be what happened, coming full circle to how I felt finishing the first book. I didn’t quite fly through this one like I did Crossfire, but I could have read it a lot quicker if I had the time to pick it up a bit more. Endgame’, the breathtaking conclusion to the series, influenced by the unprecedented global events of recent years, is full of twists and turns and emotions, with its incredible characters reaching a dramatic conclusions to their stories. Hearing the narrative of the first-generation characters really made the journey full circle, seeing firsthand how their stories end after having grown up with them.

The premise of this book, a world in which race is reversed, was what initially drew me to it as it sounded like an interesting and dystopian concept. Well, this excellent series is finally brought to a close in an entertaining and quite gripping conclusion. 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'. while it still doesn't have the fresh originality of the daring Noughts and Crosses, the writing and the plot have developed well and Blackman has done an excellent job of concluding a creative and necessary series.The was an emphasis on the importance of family and different types of love were explored, not just the typical romantic love. 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. Or the Noughts who fought and died in the great war only to see their contribution deliberately ignored? Endgame, the breathtaking conclusion to the series, influenced by the unprecedented global events of recent years, is full of twists and turns and emotions, with its incredible characters reaching a dramatic conclusions to their stories.
