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

Product Information

Overall, if you loved the Noughts and Crosses series, like me, and you really want to read it, go for it; however, if you've just stubbled across it, I recommend all the books that came before it in the series far more than this. Crossfire could definitely go amiss if you're not as in love with the series as me and other fans.

However, even though I had no idea about the pre-existing books nor their plot points, I dived in regardless, I mean you have to live a little dangerously right?!? You turned 60 this year – double the age that doctor predicted for you. What are your ambitions now? Cara Imega: A kind-hearted Cross who falls in love with Jude. She campaigns against discrimination towards Noughts. Although Jude wants to take her money, he eventually falls in love with her as well. He becomes so confused about his feelings that he follows through with his original plan. He beats her to death and steals all her money. Meggie McGregor: Supporting character in all books. Callum's mother, who had been Sephy's nanny until Jasmine fired her. She convinces Sephy to move in with her and is very close to Callie Rose. However, a threat to call social services about Callie Rose estranges Sephy from her.The book Noughts and Crosses is an alternate reality fiction based in a 22nd-century parallel universe. Their world is similar to the reality of the 21st century, with equivalent types of jobs, of government, and so on. Racial inequality is the driving force of the storyline, and there are few laws or constitutional protections to prevent discrimination. There are two races in the book: the Crosses (darker-skinned people) are the dominant race with the individuals owning most of the wealth, good jobs, different and better schools etc. The second race, the Noughts (lighter-skinned people) are at the poorer end of society usually doing manual labour or being servants to Crosses, with poor schools – if any at all. Short story in the multi-author collection The Crew and Other Teen Fiction, Heinemann Library, ISBN 0-431-01875-8 I think it says that when I make up my mind to do something, it takes an awful lot to stop me. And I knew I wanted to be a writer. I can’t sing, I can’t dance, I can’t sculpt. I can’t draw to save my life. But I had this thing of wanting to create something, and I found I just love creating stories. There were soooo many unanswered questions and throwaway lines that never got answered and it just pissed me off. I felt as though I was left with so many unanswered questions and annoying loose ends. For example, does Callie actually love Tobey or is she just trying to fulfil her mum’s final wishes? What happened to that strange romantic chemistry between Troy and Libby? Is there really going to be no police consequences for anyone considering how many people were killed, kidnapped etc.? What did Callie mean when she said “He thought he’d won…I was going to prove him wrong? (An ominous statement which needs elaborating please.) How can you just suddenly drop the bomb that Sonny did kill Nathan and then…nothing? Why was there no sense of angst or urgency to these characters as they ambled along in feeble attempts to recover their family members? And why in earth were there so many out of place marriage proposals? I mean come on!

In the world of Noughts & Crosses, racism is not ‘fixed’ – it is simply inverted.

Sephy's character returned again for another book and I really enjoyed seeing her mature throughout the books. This edition portrays Sephy in her fifties and reading about her growing as a person throughout the series is lovely and give's me nostalgia to when I was reading Noughts and Crosses for the first time. The theme of racism and discrimination is still strong and emulates recent things that have been happening in our world, which was a nice detail. Crossfire focuses on some pretty hard-hitting events while also allowing us to get a little closer to our characters.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.
