Ik heb het boek gelezen voor een uni opdracht en het was best lastig om er eerst in te komen. Maar dit boek heeft me wel geraakt. Voornamelijk over kolonialisme en racisme. Een paar kleine details waren niet echt mijn ding, maar overall vond ik het een goed boek.

Malorie Blackman’s Noughts & Crosses series is a powerful and emotional exploration of racism, injustice, and forbidden love, set in an alternate world where societal roles are sharply reversed. Through the story of Sephy and Callum, and later generations affected by their choices, themes like prejudice, privilege, and the lasting impact of oppression with honesty and intensity. It has bold characters with intense emotions challenging society.
