I remember reading this over a year ago and being very annoyed, because the next book wasn’t out yet! And I very much enjoyed attempting to solve the case with Pip (who I now want to be my best friend).

In Jake's English home town, tensions are rising between those who oppose the war in Afghanistan, and those who consider Muslims as traitors. In some ways, the epilogue 'Three months later' detracted a bit from my overall enjoyment of the book, which was heading for a 5-star read up to then.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. And this leads me to my main point about Blackman's writing – her characters may not be 2D cutouts but they are totally changeable!

Although Blackman’s writing was still good, the plot lacked the structure and pacing to keep me fully engaged.Packed with twists, turns, and drama throughout, it was the most incredible end to my favourite series ever.

I didn’t quite fly through this one like I did Crossfire, but I could have read it a lot quicker if I had the time to pick it up a bit more. When we're younger, we often keep a diary where we talk about our crushes, how annoying our teachers are, our parents, and our dreams. Newcomers to Noughts and Crosses would be advised to start at the beginning as Endgame draws heavily on what has come before, not least the murder of gangster Dan Jeavons and the kidnapping of Troy and Libby.

I am happy with Libby's ending, the fact that she finally got a loving and stable family to live in, much needed after her traumatic childhood.
