About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

It is 20 years in 2021 since Malorie Blackman's groundbreaking series began with Noughts & Crosses, which charted the deeply forbidden romance between Sephy (a Cross) and Callum (a nought) - a love affair which had repercussions for their families for generations.

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.

The book appeared a bit slow however finished good. I liked the way it reminded me of the other books prior in keeping with this story.

Nothing beats a good family

Loved the final installment of the series, which yet again draws parallels with the real world with artfulness and nuance.
Great performances all round, although not necessarily consistent with the previous audio book characterisations.

My only criticism is that Meggie was given a Caribbean accent (must probably because she's first encountered after having cooked plantain and fishcakes, so an assumption was made), despite the fact that she is a naught and this is critical to her character.

Excellent story, brought to life beautifully

I love this as a strong end to a good series.

I would have been a full 5⭐ on everything but I can't get over the choice of voice for Meggie. I know that Caribbean accent could belong to someone of any skin colour but the fact Meggie is a nought (white) is so important, to her characterisation and to the earlier books especially, that it feels like the narrator didn't know the earlier books before narrating which broke the immersion for me.

A strong ending

So ... there's going to be another book. We have to know how Calli will save Toby.

My only... qualm is when Troy was speaking and quoting nana Meggie, he had a Jamaican/ Caribbean accent. which confused me since she was a nought (white) and that accent had never been put on her throughout the series until then...

not saying you can't be white and have that accent, more like it seemed out of character given her history

love... but...
