Matched was pretty good, I liked the world Ally Condie created. No one likes party poopers, but I really couldn't do it.
I know I read it before y'all but I guess that is because Australia got it earlier. Again, we’ll see.Revised edition DNF (this is not one of my normal reviews, I cannot provide such detailed review as this book was read ages ago) Additionally, this is not an ARC. Would I not recommend it? No, I like it enough to probably recommend it. Would I recommend it? I’ll see where my opinion is after Reached. So I didn’t like parts of it, but in the grand scheme of things I did? I’m still honestly not sure how I feel about this series. It’s definitely a thought-provoking series, and I also really like that. I seriously could have a book just about Indie and be totally happy. The pacing is off, the romance is cringe-worthy, and Cassia is one of my least favorite dystopian heroines in history. The entire book is spent trying to get to the Rising and about five pages are spent describing how they actually got there. And the ending might win the prize for Most Rushed/Anticlimactic Ending in History. I seriously considered doing so about twenty five times. Whenever they were having their little kissy moments I wanted to throw the book across the room. It’s honestly rarer to find a page where she doesn’t talk about him than to find one where she’s gushing about all of his attributes. I’m not kidding, on some pages she mentions him four to five times. Gets annoying, doesn’t it? Now picture that times ten. Ky Ky Ky oh my gosh I love Ky I LOVE KY he’s so amazing he’s the heaven and earth and stars to me Ky Ky Ky Ky Ky…. Okay, to demonstrate my point, picture this. But… I just don’t feel any connection between Ky and Cassia.
Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE romance when it’s done well. But in Crossed she turned from sensitive and smart to sappy and lovesick. In Matched, I liked Cassia because she was a sensitive heroine who was also strong. (Plus, I have a horrible habit of not being able to not finish a series even if I hate it, so yeah) But Crossed… oh. I didn’t love it, but I liked it enough to continue with the series. Ok, so maybe it wasn’t the best book I’ve ever read, but honestly? I liked it.
