Knife Edge: Book 2

Product Information

If you've read Noughts and Crosses you just HAVE to read KnifeEdge and the rest (Checkmate, and Double Cross). Malorie Blackman has done a good job of making us feel, amplified by the violence and heartache she’s written into the book. At the start of 'Knife Edge', however, she is in a charity hospital where she had given birth to a baby girl and finds that, far from hating the child, she is now bonding to her with a fierce and protective love.

Blackman also shows the depths of racial hatred in the character of Jude and how blinkered people can become through this hatred.I highly recommend this series to anyone and I will be continuing on with the others very soon because I'm so excited to find out what's going to happen and how the rest of the story will pan out. Okay I loved the first of the trilogy and a good bit of this but by the end I wasn’t convinced - it might just be personal opinion but I think that within a book you’ve got to at least be rooting for someone but after a few shocking turns in this there was no one left to root for. The book spirals down into a darkness, which includes a depression that by the end has swallowed up Sephy with seemingly further tragic results. J’ai eu beaucoup de mal à m’attacher à Jude, et quand j’ai réussi à croire en lui, il a fini par me décevoir.

It was a love story between two teenagers who had their families, friends and generally, society against their union.I really liked her narrative because without it, I don’t think we would be able to truly understand the destructive nature of Sephy’s behaviour. and it really did seem like he was falling in love with her, but I suppose their ship name can only be 'Titanic'.
