It thought it was very sad and not many happy things happened in it. I felt sorry for Sephy in this book as she was put in quite a bad place accompanied by some bad decisions which she made. I also feel hatred against Jude whom I just saw no good qualities in. I feel like Callie rose was set up for a challenging life before her. I would recommend it if you have read the first book in the series and you don’t mind a sad story. I would recommend it to age 12+ but I read it with my mum. Overall it was a sad but thought provoking book.

I found that knife edge was a bit hard to get into at the begging but by the end i was fully immersed in it. Overall it was a great book.

This is literally my favorite book ever. Everything about it is just amazing. I loved this book so much. The book is genius. Malorie Blackman has written a book that is not just emotional but truly incredible. My favorite character was Sephy because the amount of things that she had to live through is so huge and she kept going. I would recommend this book definitely to anyone else but the book does have some mature content that may not be suitable for younger readers. However, anyone 10 and up will love his book.

Really great book, I recommend it to anyone. One of those books you read a numerous amount of times. Really amazing. Never gets boring. Once I pick it up I read it till the end. I could go on for ages about it. Kids will love it, one of my personal favourites. Lie in bed with a copy of Knife Edge. My idea of a holiday! Lovely characters. I congratulate this book.

I really like the Noughts and Crosses series and I think anyone who liked the first book should carry on reading the series... they get better and better! I would recommend this book to everyone... but not to younger readers.

ACTION- PACKED KIND OF SAD DO NOT read if under 13 years

It is very intense and you can really feel what the characters emotions are and you feel like your in the room with Sephy, Meggie, and Jude.

This book is great, but rather grown up. I would recommend this book to teens.

This is a book about hatred. Persephone Hadley (Sephy) is a Cross, one of the privileged in a society where the ruling Crosses treat the pale-skinned noughts as inferiors. But her baby daughter has a nought father – Callum. Eaten up with bitterness, Callum’s brother Jude, blames Sephy for the terrible losses his family has suffered. Now Jude’s life rests on a knife edge. Will Sephy be forced, once again, to take sides? A razor-sharp and intensely moving novel, the second in the Noughts & Crosses sequence. Characters: Sephy, Jude, Cara, Meggie, Minerva and Jasmine Hadley Quotes by people on Knife Edge: ‘The price of hating other human beings is loving oneself less.’ – Eldridge Cleaver. ‘We hate some persons because we do not know them; and will not know them because we hate them.’ – Charles Caleb Colton ‘Love is blind; hate is deaf.’ ‘I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain.’ – James Baldwin Rating and recommendation: I highly recommend this book to other readers aged 11+. This is a gripping tale with a lot to tell and this book has the power to control your emotions. In addition, the book shows the contradicts between noughts and Crosses, as well as how Sephy manages and struggles in her life without Callum – she feels a lot lonely. On top of that, there are many twists in the story and the story also allows you to discover Jude as a different person through his feelings and emotions, despite the fact he tries hard not to let his feelings trap his mind. I rate this book 4/5.
