Matched Series By Ally Condie - Reading from 'Matched' from August 29th 2019

[Mona]

guys I didn't abandon this yet I'm continuing reading crossed tomorrow hoping to finish the series before the new year.

[Mona]

Chapter 5 *crossed*
Finally back to read this
(view spoiler)[
Poor Cassia she will be devastated when she discover that the blue tablets are useless and she choose to trade Ky's compass.
Ky is wondering why the society hates the Aberrations so much but I think they hate all the people not only Aberrations.
It is a good thing that we can read through Ky POV. (hide spoiler)]

[Mona]

chapter 15 *Crossed*
(view spoiler)[ I wish I could know the rest of the story of the 2 red Tablets from Ky POV how he stole it and what happen next. and Xander character really confusing me. he know and do things he not supposed to kmow or do.
I hope they will meet soon Cassia and Ky. this chasing is becoming a little bit ridiculous and I start to get really bored. (hide spoiler)]

[Mona]

Chapter 19
(view spoiler)[
Finally something happens. Cassia found her name on the tree. How beautiful of Ky to carve her name specially on a cottonwood tree he alway do the nicest things. I like him soo much. I love this love story.
I just can't believe that Vick is dead I thought that he will be one of the main characters. His story was so sad also the way he died holding the carved tree and the dead fish. It is so cruel. I hate that stupid socity all their acts are so savage and inhuman. (hide spoiler)]

[Mona]

Chapter 30
(view spoiler)[
Finally Cassia and Ky found each other. I don't like India she is really annoying. I think she is the one who took Cassia's matching box. I don't understand why she is so interested in Xander maybe she saw him when he visited Cassia and she is liking him now. (hide spoiler)]

[Mona]

Chapter 38
(view spoiler)[
So a lot happened in this chapter. Xander is in the Rising and Ky supposed to be the pilot. I just can't understand how is that.
India I hate her so much how could she ask Ky to leave Cassia behind after everything she had sacrificed to find him. And I think Ky should tell Cassia everything about his father, the Rising and Xander. She will understand after everything she is been through she at least deserves to know everything.
I can understand why Ky doesn't want to go to be with the Rising. They are the reason he Lost his family and they never done anything to rescue them. (hide spoiler)]

[Mona]

Chapter 47 (view spoiler)[
Ky is the one who put his name in the matching system !!!! He did it because he loved Cassia from the start. (hide spoiler)]

[Michaela]

I agree! Indie is annoying and is always around. She is now bugging Ky and it is bothering me.

[❤ Aly ❤]

Chap 32:

(view spoiler)[Cassia and Ky finally found each other! Indie is bothering me.. She is constantly wanting to know everything is is being too much involved for me.. I wonder when they take the tissue samples.. (hide spoiler)]

[❤ Aly ❤]

Chap 39:

(view spoiler)[Wow. I knew Indie was apart of something but was not expecting that. I also didn't have any idea what secret it was that Ky was hiding about Xander. I understand why he was keeping it in though because he knew that Cassia wanted to be part of the rising and that he didn't want to be. (hide spoiler)]

[❤ Aly ❤]

Chap 45:

(view spoiler)[I am glad that Indie fessed up to Cassia. At least she can tell when she was in the wrong. (hide spoiler)]

[❤ Aly ❤]

Finished

I am excited to read the third one and see where it goes.

[❤ Aly ❤]

Mona, are you going to start reading Reached tomorrow (the 1st)?

(view spoiler)[
It is just amazing how she risked everything yo find him. She was ready to join the war just for him. (hide spoiler)]

[Mona]

Aly wrote: "Chap 32:

[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[
She is so selfish. Trying to make Cassia doubt her love for Ky and choosing him over Xander. (hide spoiler)]

[Mona]

Aly wrote: "Chap 39:

[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[
I was so surprised by Xander secret but I was more surprised that we finally knew who put Ky's picture in microchip. It was Ky himself because he loved her from the start and wanted her to really see him. How beautiful. (hide spoiler)]

I waiting for you to get the book from the library as we agreed and next week is good for me too and it is great that @Melanie can join us too I will email @Mickey if she could join too.

[Melanie]

Finished

(view spoiler)[While I liked the story, I think there was too long of a break from when I read book one. I felt like I was playing catch-up and was lost for a good portion of the book. Once I got to about the halfway point things definitely picked up and I enjoyed the story. (hide spoiler)]

Excited to see how things end! The ending definitely has me interested in reading Reached asap (already checked it out of the library. :))
