I'd been waiting so long to read the book, and it was well worth the wait. I read it in about 4hrs, n i cant wait for the last one in the series. The story starts with Sephy and her newborn baby Callie Rose, the book shows the struggle Sephy has to go through to do the best for her baby. It also shows what happens to Jude as he attempts to make Sephy pay for what she has done, along with every Cross he meets! The book is both like and unlike "Noughts and Crosses" in that it is set in "diary" form, but instead of it being from just two peoples points of view it is from Sephy's, Jude's, Minerva's, Meggie's(Callum's Mother) and Jasmine's(Sephy's mother). This adds an interesting twist to the story. It is a heart renching story of love, revenge, hatred and disloyalty that keeps you hooked and wanting more. The end is a suprise that I didn't even think of, like "Noughts and Crosses" this book left on a cliffhanger and a tear jerker of an ending making me cry. This is better even than "Noughts and Crosses" which i didnt think was possible! This is a "must read" for all you bookworms out there, and for all those who enjoyed Noughts and Crosses.

I wasn't sure I wanted to read Knife Edge. I loved Noughts and Crosses so much, I didn't want to read a sequel that wasn't an equal to the first book. But this book is just as good, if not better than the first one. I bought Knife Edge this morning and by the afternoon, I'd finished reading it. I don't see how any book this year could be better. The newspaper articles were brilliant, as were the rainbow sections. The whole thing just left me wanting the story to never end. Like Oliver, I wanted a lot more. The story covers the first year of Callie Rose's life but it's more about Sephy trying to carry on without Callum, and Jude trying everything he can to ruin Sephy's life. And the end was totally shocking. I didn't see it coming at all. Now I'm desperate to read the last one in the trilogy. It's driving me nuts that I'm going to have to wait until the next book comes out to know what happens next. Knife Edge was definitely worth the wait, but please, please - if you're reading this Miss Blackman - don't make us wait too long for the last part.

Knife Edge is definitely a very good book, but having read it I do feel that there is something missing... something Malorie Blackman managed to put into Noughts and Crosses (the prequel to Knife Edge) and didn't put in this book. Where Noughts and Crosses had a lot of action and drama, Knife Edge is pretty bland right up until the ending (which is very good and unexpected). The book follows Persephone Hadley as she struggles to raise her dual-heritage child in an apartite world, whose father was hanged for terrorism. Knife Edge is largely just idly following the ups and downs of everyday life with Sephy - nothing too groundbreaking here.
That said, if you've read Noughts and Crosses, you must read this book - you don't have to read An Eye for An Eye (which is a sort of semi-prequel, set before Knife Edge and after Noughts and Crosses) as it only marginally helps in understanding Knife Edge, but An Eye for An Eye is a good book, despite its short length, and if a friend has a copy, you'll want to read it.

Good continuation
A very good book, continues on from exactly where noughts and crosses left of, at some stages the story seems like it may lose momentum but then it picks up, does not have as much... Read more

Ok
As a succession to Noughts and Crosses I was a little disappointed. As well written as it's predecessor, but the content wasn't as gripping in my opinion.

Great read
Loved the second book and leaping to the third instalment. I am glad this exaggerated story of real life isn't accurate.
