Jude is a nought. Eaten up with bitterness, he blames Sephy for the terrible losses his family have suffered...
Now Jude's life rests on a knife edge. Will Sephy be forced, once again, to take sides?"
So in Blackman's modern society, the race divide is in reverse to how it used to be here (and still is to some extent) - dark-skinned people (Crosses) have all the pow...more

'Knife Edge' is the second book in the Noughts & Crosses trilogy. I read the first book ('Noughts and Crosses') in my first year of uni so that was about seven years ago! I bought this as soon as it came out in paperback but it ended up shoved to the back of my "to read" pile. I was worried I wouldn't be able to get back into the story after so long but it was really easy; you could probably pick this up to read without even having read the first one. I bought this for full price in Borders (£6.99 for a paperback) but as Borders has now shut down I checked the Amazon price for you and it'll currently cost you £4.86 (not including ...

Knife Edge is the second book in the Noughts and Crosses series and continues on the story of Persephone 'Sephy' Hadley. Written again in first person the chapters alternate this time between Sephy and Jude primarily, with some chapters telling the story from the view of Sephy's mum, Jasmine, and Callum's mum, Meggie.

Malorie Blackman presents to us a world where coloured people, Crosses, were never the ones to be slaves but were in fact the slavers and white people - Noughts, who are historically the slavers are in fact the slaves.

Knife Edge is the second part of the noughts and crosses trilogy. Sephy has had her baby Callie Rose and Callum is dead. The book mainly shows the thoughts and views ove Jude and Sephy. Other characters like Jasmine and Meggie are also brought into it. Jude is now even worse. He is colder than usual and a stone cold killer. When he falls in love with a cross he cannot take the emotion and ends up killing her. He soon gets over it though. His main goal in life is to seek revenge for his brother, Callum, by killing Sephy. The story goes on to describe the lives of both of them. Sephy trying to struggle her way through and cope with her baby and the public. Jude with only .. Read the complete review
