I thought that it was a good read. I read Matched right after I finished Mockinjay, which made the differences in pacing all the more obvious. The pacing is extremely slow, and not much action occurs. Also, I feel that some of the characters were one dimensional. However, what won me over was the author's use of poetry in the book. I also loved Cassia character. She is not a typical damsel-in-distress, but she is also not a strong, resilient female. She is just a normal girl dealing with being cruelly subjugated by the Society. Her poetic way of thinking also made it very entertaining to see the world from her perspective. I really liked how the author presented the Society as well. Instead of being outright cruel, the Society’s evil resides in subtle manipulation. What is truly disturbing is that they believe what they do is justifiable. Although Matched is not one of my favorite books I do not regret reading it, and I plan on finishing the series.
