Checkmate (Noughts and Crosses, 3)

Product Information

I know that Ali’s only ever written STEM-themed books, so I appreciate how she stepped out of the normal for her YA debut.

Also I hated how he was more like a side character in this book than the "actual" side characters which is the worst that could happen to a mmc. This Is a great book for teenages it has quite a mature them but is full of twists and turns on every page it is the third book in the noughts and cross' series but it expains everything that has happened so far. As her first YA release (also her first non-STEM release), I was initially a little worried and curious to see how she’d adapt her writing and characters.Her work has appeared on screen, with Pig-Heart Boy, which was shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal, being adapted into a BAFTA-winning TV serial. But also the man she embarrassed by defeating in her first match, making her the new, hot topic about Chess World.

Mallory and Nolan were just have a conversation, but people made the picture of them together go viral like Mallory and Nolan were dating. It’s like when the kid is sleep-talking brands in White Noise and I kept joking that this book is generating ad revenue to keep the publishing industry rolling.Malorie Blackman broke my heart with the first book of this series and only now, has she tried to mend it.

if you are the burnt out older sibling, this book is for you 🫵🏽 mallory is such a relatable character. i should get better at reading blurbs and deciding not to read them because "reigning bad boy of chess" was a red flag flying in my face.

and while your at it add in some queer rep made two women in stem fall in love, now that would be iconic. But her father's family has a complicated history - one tied up with the fight for equality for the nought population. It is gripping from start to finish and clearly portrays how stupid and unkind racism is and was when it divides families and this is only the second ever book to make me cry, and I've read a lot of sad books. During a tournament, Mallory caught her father kissing another woman, meanwhile he had a family of his own. I liked Mallory, her looking out for her family and siblings was something that resonated with me on some level.

But when the 12 year old character starts pestering the adults to talk about their sex life while talking about her adult sister's sex life to a man she just met, is just creepy, and sends a wrong message.
