Hello my wonderful readers! Today I'm going to review the last book from the matched series, Reached By Ally Condie. The story is told in the point of views from Cassia, Ky, and Xander. Before, Cassia finally found Ky but they are separated again. Cassia is supposed to work within the society, while Ky works outside the borders. Soon the real story is shown in a twist of events through out the dystopian world.
Overall Ranking:
There is many new characters to include but I decided to not talk much about them because it would be like giving away the plot. However this book is given, a 4.5 out of five stars because the series gave many obvious answers towards the end but there were several unexpected turns. Such as the "real" enemy isn't the rising, why Ky was put into the matching pool, and the favored memory of Cassia's grandfather. While reading this trilogy I found that the common theme was Cassia breaking from society and no longer taking their authority. Which is seen on the cover and resembles the symbol of the red pill, that is revealed in this book. I wasn't satisfied with this book because the artifacts that were mentioned in Matched wasn't given any clue to where they may be found and what happens to the world? Does the world return to it's "normal" state or does it "change" in the end? Many of my questions weren't answered but I felt some what accomplished when I finished the trilogy. I still feel the author brought many poetic images through this book but it didn't feel over bearing as Crossed and it felt like the language and tone moved swiftly with this concept. Also, the reason I was unable to finish this book was that the beginning was still boring and lagging but when I reached the turning point of the book I started to enjoy myself once again. In conclusion, you should start this trilogy because it is dystopian but has many twist and turns that I personally favorite. Please give it a try and continue following me on all my accounts listed below. Till then my readers!
