Reached by Ally Condie
3.0

Though I mildly enjoyed Matched, I found myself wanting. I excepted to get more and hoped the following books would provide. I could accept the slow start and lack of depth if it came in the later books. But it didn’t. I kept my hopes up after Crossed, kept an open mind that Condie would pull through in the last one. And though I did get more out of Reached, it wasn’t enough to redeem the whole series.
I had such a hard time believing in Cassie and Ky’s love. There was no substance there. Maybe that was just because I found it difficult to believe in Cassie? I liked Ky, I really did but what’s so special about Cassie that the “popular guy” trope AND the “dangerous guy” trope both wanted her?
I won’t deter people from this series but I also won’t be rushing to promote it either. It just is what it is. Not bad but nothing special.
