The second book of Ally Condie's riveted Matched Trilogy astounds readers once again. Ky has been taken away to certain death. Xander is further from Cassia's heart than ever. Resolved to go after her one true love, Cassia balances on the point of a knife as she tiptoes around the Society's rules into the black market, rebellion group, and everything she's never imagined. Still, though, after she's prepared, Cassia ventures into the dangerous Outer Provinces in search of Ky, knowing that her death—whether from the Society or the deadly residents of the Outer Provinces—is near. Sabotage, food loss, and fatality does little to urge her on, but Cassia has a goal. Meanwhile, the narration switches to Ky as well, who narrates with a fluidity and fervent passion that no one can deny. But when Xander, Cassia's real Match, completely reverses the circumstances with everything riding on him, Cassia's struggle between Ky and Xander is more difficult than ever before. As Ally Condie pulls one over the readers yet again, the last book of her trilogy becomes one of the highly-awaited of the century.Almost 4 years agogirlpower4ever added a book review.
Cassia lives in a perfect world with perfect structure with a perfect government called the Society. She's never once doubted the Society's ability to make the best choices for her...until two Matches flash inexplicably across her screen. The Matching Ceremony is one of the most important events of Cassia's life! It determines who she'll marry based on their personalities. So when Xander Carrow, her best friend, first appears, Cassia is elated. But then, just for a second, Ky Markham's face flashes across the screen before it darkens. The Society assures Cassia that this is a very rare fluke, but she is still haunted by one of the things she has known as forbidden: curiosity. Trying to really love Xander while secretly falling for Ky, Cassia realizes that the Society may not be as infallible as she thought. And all the while, one question is inescapable: is the Society helping her live, or caging her in? This novel perfectly balances rivet and danger while teetering around the unavoidable result: death.Almost 4 years agogirlpower4ever added a book review.
The bomb drops in the electrifying last book of the Matched trilogy by Ally Condie. Narrated by Cassia, Ky, and Xander, who are all now working with the rebellion nicknamed the Rising, the Society's position is more dangerous than ever. A Plague is spreading throughout the Society's cities, and the Rising has the cure. All seems well for the Rising: the cure is the perfect way to win citizens over. But what no one foresees is the Plague's mutation. Suddenly, a concrete cure is nonexistent, and the entire world is thrown into chaos. The Plague spreads like wildfire. The Rising and the Society race to find a cure. People of the Outer Provinces spill back into society. Meanwhile, the main protagonists of the novel are more separated than ever. Ky has fallen deathly ill from the mutated Plague. Battling heartbreak and duty, Xander helps to find a cure for the boyfriend of the girl he loves. And Cassia is a mess. Trying to balance her morals, Ky's life, and hopelessness in the palm of her hand, Cassia must realize that once again, there is more than meets the eye. In the riveting finale to Ally Condie's trilogy, readers will be again amazed at the beauty and shattered glass of this Society-distorted dystopian world.Almost 4 years agogirlpower4ever added a book review.
