Rereading this series as an adult and it’s just as good. Will always recommend.

Amazingly written and great subject matter!

I really liked this book but the first book will always be better in my opinion.

This book didn't quite pack the same punch as Noughts and Crosses, but the story was still extremely readable and interesting. Alongside the continuation of worldbuilding in this alternate world, there is plenty of emotional development and Malorie's writing style shone through.

Jude actually seems like a nice guy despite the hatred he feels towards Crosses. :(

Six months to finish and what a downgrade compared to book one.

Knife Edge was boring for about 80% of the book. NONE of the characters were likeable at all and by the end I just didn’t care. Will I continue the series? Yes because of the overarching story. Will I continue it right away? Definitely not….
