The final book Reached in Allie Condie's Matched series came out last Friday and I downloaded it Thursday night! I was anxiously anticipating the conclusion to a series that I have really enjoyed and would love at some point to teach as part of a dystopian/speculative fiction unit. Unfortunately, I was disappointed in the final book in this series. The character development was dragging and uninspired and the loose ends of the plot were tied up predictably. A shame considering the potential I thought existed in the first two books of this trilogy.
If you loved Matched and Crossed, check it out, but wait for your local library copy or borrow it from a friend...
