Uhhhhhhm... Okay I'm just going to rate this books series overall.
The first was good, it was a nice and relaxing way to get into this series, I wasn't totally caught up on it, but it was good. Ky and Cassia are really cute (I felt horribly bad for Xander though)
The second was... boring. It was so so so boring and confusing, and I just... Some people think the second book was boring, because of all of the poetry - that wasn't the reason for me. It just... It just kind of lost me I think. At the end of the book, it got a little more exciting and more stuff happened.
The third was just as good as the first.
I think it took too long for it to end, I think that everything should've probably gone a little faster in the end, but it lost me again somehow.
I think this series was good and insightful, but... I don't think there was happening enough for it to be a trilogy. (What's happening with trilogies anyways, they're everywhere!)
Ky and Xander were my favorite people in these books, Condie gave them a lot of life, and even though they both where in love with Cassia, they were in love with her in different ways.
Cassia was not as amazing and alive as the two male protagonists. I think Cassia was a boring lead, and I just... I didn't like her in general. She wasn't very smart, she wasn't bold, she wasn't shy, she wasn't dumb, she wasn't sweet, she wasn't sassy. I think for me it wouldn't be possible to exactly describe her as a person. The only thing you could say about her was, that she loved everybody and had a hard time letting go of anything (which could have been a flaw making her alive, but it just seemed like a flaw in the writing). She just wasn't my cup of tea.
And the love triangle was just - i'm so sorry - lame. I'm a sucker for confused love and all that, but if a love triangle sucks... It doesn't work okay?
I don't exactly regret reading it, but when I started the third book, it was only because I thought it would be weird only reading the first two and not the end.
This series was very mediocre, but you should give it a try if you like dystopia. Maybe you'll like it more than I did! ;)
