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. Published by Dutton Books, an imprint of Penguin Group (USA), Inc., 2012. Reached opens with Xander Carrow, now a Society Official, taking information with two other Officials, including a woman named Lei, about a new baby boy in Camas Province. 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. A “Plague” on all your houses! Get me outta here! He’s the pilot! No! She’s the pilot! Wait! You’re the pilot! No, we’re ALL the pilot! Sheesh. The plot is predictable Xander speaks like a robot Cassia and Ky have as much chemistry as inert gas and the recurring riff on “who is the Pilot” made me feel like I was trapped in a “Where’s Waldo?” book. In this gripping conclusion to the 1 New York Times bestselling Matched Trilogy, Cassia will reconcile the difficulties of challenging. When the three main protagonists are not obsessing over the Plague or each other, they are obsessing over who is the real “Pilot” – a messianic-like leader who will make everything All Better.Įvaluation: This book bored me hugely. While staying true to the science fiction and romance at the core of Matched (2010) and Crossed (2011). Initially controllable, the Plague has now mutated, becoming super-virulent and pandemic. During most of the book, the three of them use their Society-honed skills to work for the Rising, which is trying to cope with the Plague. Narration in this book switches back and forth among Cassia, Xander, and Ky.

This is Book Three of “The Matched Trilogy” (click on the links to access my reviews of Book One, Matched, and Book Two, Crossed.) Book Three is definitely not a standalone, in any sense. Note: This book contains mild spoilers for Book One, Matched, and Book Two, Crossed, but there are no spoilers for this book, the end of the trilogy. Ally Condie is a former high school English teacher who lives with her husband, three sons and one daughter outside of Salt Lake City, Utah.
