Double Cross by Malorie Blackman
4.0
I really enjoyed this book. Tobey was much more likeable for me this reading compared to when I read these books in the past. He's very human, and while the characters in the preceding books have been solid, his different personality and background was an interesting change also. I also enjoyed the plot; although I would've liked to have seen a bit more of the original Noughts and Crosses characters (this is personal preference over anything), I didn't feel like the pacing or plot points in this book were bad at all, and I enjoyed the new characters and the story overall.
However, this book did feel a little disjointed from the original series, and I feel like it would've been better advertisement to say Double Cross was a sister standalone to the original trilogy instead of calling it a quadrilogy, as this book did cover the same overall themes of the original trilogy, but seemed more character-based and depth-based rather than its breadth-based predecessors.
