Publisher's summary

After leaving Society and desperately searching for the Rising - and each other - Cassia and Ky have found what they were looking for, but at the cost of losing each other yet again: Cassia has been assigned to work for the Rising from within Society, while Ky has been stationed outside its borders. But nothing is as predicted, and all too soon the veil lifts and things shift once again.

In this gripping conclusion to the number-one New York Times-best-selling Matched Trilogy, Cassia will reconcile the difficulties of challenging a life too confining, seeking a freedom she never dreamed possible, and honoring a love she cannot live without.

Featured Article: Excellent Dystopian Listens Like The Hunger Games


The popularity of Suzanne Collins’s The Hunger Games trilogy and its film adaptations has paved the way for so many great dystopian books and series in YA, imagining harrowing worlds where teens must fight for survival and define what life means to them. The enduring popularity of the series has proven that dystopian stories and the sometimes-dark futures they imagine are endlessly fascinating to our imaginations.

interesting

The reading, especially of Ki and Zander were a little over-dramatic. And the overall reading speed was too slow.
However, the story was interesting, and I liked the twist of the sabotaged plague.

Decent.

Not as good as the others. The climax was right at the beginning, and the ending left a bunch of loose ends.

Narration is so fantastic!

Some have said they didn't like the female voice. For me, she was perfect for this part. I could have listened to her all day. LOVE her voice. But all three did a great job. Loved them all. This series is great. I enjoyed it very much. In fact, I loved it. So much interesting stuff packed into these books. What I didn't like at all was the music. I see people complain all the time about music in the books, yet they still keep adding it. The third book wasn't as bad, but still annoying. But it only comes up here and there, so don't let that stop you. These are fantastic!

Interesting series

Ally Condie created an interesting visual, perfectly building up character development and excellent description of this dystopian world. In the first of the 3 book series, everyone lives in this “perfect” society with rigid to keep it running that way. But as the series goes on, there’s talk of a pilot leading a rebellious group that might be helpful when an unexpected disease breaks out. How will this perfect society handle it?

I loved the Series

I am a huge fan of the series. There are a few things I did not enjoy, like some of the repetitive parts ( The Poems). But besides that I felt completely involved with all the characters.

Most Memorable

I love the chapter with Ky breathing. Everyone is struggling to find out what to do and he is just trying to remember to breathe.

Dawson's Creek revisited, but still good

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Sure...I have to disagree with some of the other negative reviews I read, especially the ones advising not to "waste a credit" on this book. This is after all, a series written for a younger audience, so of course the pace is different. I thought the narrators did a nice job, and I disagree with those that felt Ky "whined"....he was deliriously ill after all....

Who was your favorite character and why?

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I listen 24/7, over and over, but yes, this one held my interest.

Good, but...

Possible SPOILER:

It was a good book, but I did not like the ending and how it left you not knowing what the vote was. I was very disappointed by that. Other than that I liked it.

Good and bad

The music took away from the story. I hated the added music. As for a YA novel though, It was good and made you think a lot. Makes you thankful for your freedoms in our society. I will definitely read this again and hopefully it will become a move too :) but the music was the worst.

What Happened to the Series?

While I enjoyed the first two books in this trilogy, I was disappointed in the conclusion. The plot about going still and finding the cure had potential. But Condie made it more of a subplot. The book was more about Zander's and Ky's love for Cassia. While it appeared that Zander experienced some growth throughout the series, Cassia remained nearly stagnant in that arena and Ky was a lovesick puppy all the way through. His whining was detestable and I couldn't stand listening to him. If I hadn't been driving when I listened to the book, I would have skipped all of his chapters. His contribution to the plot was nonexistent. The book could have carried on perfectly fine without him. I don't know how Cassia, portrayed as very intelligent, could have fallen for such a person. The "match" makes no sense.

Although I realize the book is dystopian in nature, and teens would mature a little faster, I think they sounded a little too old for their ages. The last 25% of the book was moralizing on the part of Cassia. It was as if Condie was reaching herself for a way to wind it up. Perhaps the entire tale would have been better as a two-book series.

I know readers who read the first two novels will feel compelled to buy the last one, but if you can stop yourselves from doing so, you'll save a valuable credit.
