The second really felt like a lull for me, suffering from the classic ‘filler’ feeling second books in series sometimes have. I was blown away by this book, and I can’t believe how different I found it from the second. If Knife Edge left me wanting more, Checkmate gave it to me. Suddenly it’s a game of very high stakes that can only have one winner. And as Rose takes her first steps away from Sephy and into this world, she finds herself drawn inexorably into more and more danger. But her father’s family has a complicated history – one tied up with the fight for equality for the nought population. Sephy, her mother, has told Rose virtually nothing about her father, but as Rose grows into a young adult, she unexpectedly discovers the truth about her parentage and becomes determined to find out more. Can the future ever erase the past? Rose has a Cross mother and a nought father in a society where the pale-skinned noughts are treated as inferiors and those with dual heritage face a life-long battle against deep-rooted prejudices.
