The final book in the trilogy. Cassia, Ky, and Xander, all members of the rebellion, take part in the takeover of society.

Wow! I definitely have to read this book again. It was fabulous, but I was rushing through to finish it before I left on an extended trip.
Condie's writing was beautiful, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book with its 3 POV's. Usually that is not something I like. Even thought the end of the book was engaging and quick, the first half was slow, and I just expected more.

A beautiful conclusion to the Matched trilogy. The writing is absolutely lovely. My only complaint is that it leaned heavily enough upon the previous books that I wished I had gone back and re-read them before I read this one.
Beautiful, stark words create such a compelling end to this trilogy. The best book of the three.
