Review: I have loved every minute of this series! - What I Liked: 1) How Cassia and Ky's relationship has changed. They have both grown up so much from what they were and knew in Matched, and it's made their relationship very mature, and I have loved watching that. It happened gradually, especially since they spend so little time together, but I really noticed the changes in Reached. 2) There is an all around maturity that I found in this book. I'm not just talking about the characters, but in the story itself. The plot advances with perfect pacing, and the situations that the characters encounter...there is just a maturity to all of it that I notice is missing in some YA books. It appeals to the adult in me, I guess. 3) Xander. I've always been a Xander fan. That's one of the hardest things about this series is that it seems that there is only one thing that will make both Ky and Xander happy, but they obviously can't both get it, so one of them will have to be unhappy. That breaks my heart. But I really loved getting parts of this story from Xander's perspective. Everything up until now has been Cassia's perspective of him, or Ky's. But there was a lot going on under the surface that you never really knew about until Reached, when we the story was switching between Cassia, Ky and Xander's POVs. 4) The ending. I was so thankful for the way this ended. It was perfect for the storyline. There was no big build up and then crash down to the ground. Enough of the twists were resolved to make everything end satisfyingly, but also open-ended enough to give the reader a sense that these lives in this world go on, no matter if we are reading about it or not. I love it when a book ends on a note like that. What I Didn't Like: Nothing! Overall Thoughts: Ally Condie is one of my favorite authors, despite this series being the only books of hers that I have read. If everything else she writes has this level of intrigue and maturity, then I will always read stuff that she writes. The Matched series is one with romance, action, a great setting, and a battle of good versus evil that sparks a lot of thought about just what is right and what is wrong. If you haven't begun this series yet, I'd definitely recommend reading it. If you've enjoyed it so far but haven't yet read Reached, then don't hesitate! It holds up to the high standard set forth by Matched and Crossed, and ends on a very satisfying note! Review: Matched lovers will be very satisfied - THIS HAS SPOILERS!!! YOU ARE WARNED!!!1 Title: Reached Author: Ally Condie Rating: 4.0 My Review "The way that the two of them look at each other is like touching." This trilogy has been something of a long and personal journey for me. Matched was one of the first books I read after downloading the Kindle App to my phone, and helped to reawaken my interest in reading for enjoyment. Matched also reminded me how much I'd always enjoyed dystopians. I loved learning little details of the Society, like the "Hundred" things and the Banquet Ceremonies. I also appreciated the oppressive, inescapable tension created by the Society. What I craved at the time was to know more. Reached gives you more. WAAAAAAAAAAY More. To say that this final installment gets going quickly is an understatement. It fires you out of the cannon from the first page, which is something of a relief after the waiting, waiting, waiting of Crossed. I will say that Reached is so detailed that at times I had to go back and review to keep up. That being said, I was also reading at warp speed, because the tension was good. General impression: I enjoyed Reached. What I Loved Cassia - I didn't write this review until a week had passed since I finished the book. Sometimes that means my impressions whisper away with the time, but sometimes it helps to clarify them. In Reached, what struck me most was Cassia. I finally loved Cassia the way I'd always wanted to love her: NOT as a thing of Ky's or a thing of Xander's, but a thing of her own, like Indie. Entirely, utterly Cassia. A poet. An artist. A rebel in her own way. A seeker of beauty in an ugly world. I love that she finally found her center and her strength. It actually made me retroactively like Crossed better. There was a reason Condie had to drag Cassia through all that (or at least most of it), and there was a reason Indie was her foil. Do Not Go Gentle - In this series, I have always enjoyed Condie's use of imagery and poetry. Her love of poetry is intensely palpable. And as a long-time lover of dystopian's, I have to say that Condie's selection of Thomas' "Do Not Go Gentle" is genius. It is the beating heart of her tension, and is interpreted literally through Cassia's grandfather's final choices and figuratively through the personal rebellions of the main characters. Allowance for complexity - A lot of reviewers were critical of Matched for not providing enough info about the Society. I can agree with this. I personally wanted more of my villains. But then, I've always loved a good villain. In Reached, Condie nearly overcompensates with the detailed history of the chess match between the Society and the Rising. In the end, I actually found myself confused at points about who gave what Plague to whom and which version??? Overall though, I ended up with the sense that as organizations, neither the Society nor the Rising was ideal. This, to me, is a realistic outcome. I'd read some critiques of The Hunger Games that expressed dissatisfaction for the "non-happily-ever-after" ending. But that was something I really liked about that trilogy. I feel the same way about Reached. I like that Condie's characters and story line all grew up together. In the beginning, this was a story of children. By the end, it's a story of adults. The things that were not my absolute favorites.... Too much I LOVE CASSIA SO MUCH. - Ok, the boys both love her. With all their hearts. Since they were young (much younger than I realized before, apparently). THIS is why people kvetch about love triangles. I don't mind them, because they happen in real life. But they don't happen like this. I LOVE HER SO MUCH SO MUCH SO MUCH, CAN"T LIVE WITHOUT HER HOPE WE END UP TOGETHER SHE"S SO BEAUTIFUL AND VIBRANT AND ALIVE I LOVE HER SOOOOOOO MU UH UH UCH! Sometimes, Reached felt like this. A little too much longing in an area where no one is confused that longing already exists. Also, the Lei-Vick-Ky-Xander thing was a little weird. Sometimes I wonder about weaving characters back in (Lei Nei - Laney). It seemed too convenient for no reason. I could have liked the Lei-Xander connection without it... Repetitive Imagery - I sometimes feel like she hammers the images over and over once she creates them. Particularly red, green, blue. If you've read this series, then by book three, you've absorbed a lot of this trio. She doesn't have to revisit it as often as she does, particularly in the wrap-up. End of Indie - I get it. I do. I totally get it. She's the Pilot. It's a metaphor. She guided them over the River Styx, never to return herself. And the world didn't need a Pilot like her anymore, not once the THREE stepped into their own. I get that your heart aches for her, just like Condie wanted it to ache. For some readers, this may be the *perfect* ending to Indie's story. But I personally am kind of hurt by this treatment of this character. The goodbye felt hurried, somehow, for a character who had earned my interest. And it felt like what always happens to the super-cool, badass girl who's outside-looking-in on the love triangle. (Sort of a la SuperTroopers.) Just once, I want the Indie to get the girl and the Cassia to bite it...or maybe they both find love, or both die. Just seems to me that the cool girl "outside" of a love triangle is about as long-lived as an ensign on Star Trek. OVERALL Reached was an enjoyable, action-packed ending to a good dystopian series. If you are a Matched-lover, I have NO doubt you'll love Reached. If you, like me, were a little less happy with Crossed, but did like Matched, you should still pick up Reached. You will really enjoy it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B007FEFDFQ | | Accessibility | Learn more | | Best Sellers Rank | #116,348 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #185 in Teen & Young Adult Dystopian #240 in Teen & Young Adult Dystopian eBooks #389 in Teen & Young Adult Paranormal Romance eBooks | | Book 3 of 3 | Matched | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (5,733) | | Enhanced typesetting | Enabled | | File size | 3.7 MB | | Grade level | 7 - 12 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1101591710 | | Language | English | | Page Flip | Enabled | | Print length | 529 pages | | Publication date | November 13, 2012 | | Publisher | Penguin Books | | Reading age | 11+ years, from customers | | Screen Reader | Supported | | Word Wise | Not Enabled | | X-Ray | Enabled | ## Images ![Reached (Matched, Book 3) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71BTPLf28oL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I have loved every minute of this series! *by C***S on November 27, 2012* What I Liked: 1) How Cassia and Ky's relationship has changed.
