Reached by Ally Condie

Reached is the third and final book in the Matched trilogy by Ally Condie.  Honestly, this one was hard to finish, but who can leave a trilogy unfinished?  You have to know what happens.

So at the end of the second book they have found The Rising and are now in their positions.  Xavier is a medic, Ky is a pilot, and Cassia is a sorter.  They are all working for The Rising, waiting for the call to arms.  Ky and Cassia communicate through the archivists, and trade items for information.  Meanwhile, Cassia is still technically matched to Xavier.  In the middle of the story, a plague hits the Society that only the Rising has the cure for, starting the revolution.  The book follows the three characters as they each do their part in the revolution.

There's not much to say on this one really.  The last portion of the book was good, and it was nice to see Xavier finally get another love interest since Cassia loves Ky.  But I felt like it all dragged until the revolution finally occurred and the pieces came together.  If you read the first two books in the trilogy for sure finish it, but if you are reading this post first, I would say not to really bother with the trilogy at all.  Matched was great, Crossed was meh, and Reached just dragged.  Disappointing for a series recommended to be like The Hunger Games!
