True to Malorie Blackman’s usual style of writing in the Noughts and Crosses series, Endgame’s narrative jumps back between the various characters, plus scenes that throw the reader back to Dan Jeavon’s notorious party, adding further to the tension and suspense that builds up and up for the reader until the story reaches its final climax. As with all of Malorie Blackman’s Noughts and Crosses books, Endgame also delivers several emotional punches to the reader, feelings that readers who followed Sephy and Callum’s original story will be all too familiar with. While the main bulk of the plot only really covers about 36-hours, a lot happens in that time with countless mysteries, twists and turns, action-packed moments and shocking revelations. Without giving away too much of the plot for those who haven’t read this book or the ones that came before it, Endgame’s story spans across a short period of time during which the characters are all on an important life-changing mission. The novel sees the return of Persephone (Sephy) Ealing née Hadley, her daughter Callie Rose, son Troy, Tobias (Tobey) Durbridge, and his daughter Liberty (Libby) Jackman. 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.
