Ky or Xander?
haha yeah they are ... Katniss fell for Peeta (judging my your 'name' im assuming u like him) but that's like the only time i can think of that the girl fell for the like nice likable boy innocent ... whatever you wanna call it. Although in Enclave, both of the boys are like that.
that's sad..and actually there is one exception!! The guy I was rooting for actually won and he wasn't dark or mysterious!!!!!!! I wanted more Xander :(
Is it a trilogy because if he is in the end of the second, i bet he will feature in the 3rd

it's pretty good! she's an angel and she has this calling to save this boy and she finds him and falls for him (he's the perfect, popular type)..then she falls in love with this other guy (he's the likable, teasing type)..it was interesting and the guy I was rooting for is winning (which almost never happens) which improves the book greatly
It is a trilogy. I did not know that about Hunger Games, which for some reason I haven't read. Anyway, I'd like it to be more balanced, so it was mysterious to the reader! I'd be tons more interested in love triangles if I couldnt guess the ending!
Oh, and also...Ky and Xander are (I'm sure) in both books. Usually they keep you 'guessing' until the end who she'll be with, even though you usually already know...

It's amazing..I say that to everyone, but these books seriously changed me perspective on war and societys and people..the characters are unforgetablle (a.k.a. Peeta)

Yeah you should definitely read them, they are for everybody and they really make you think. They totally got me into dystopian novels, which i can;t get my nose out of now. Also i think i think about stuff like war and society's issues, people and love.

I think I never read them b/c I got sick of the dystopian craze...I'll probably read them in a few years when everyone has moved on to something else and has stopped talking about them, lol...But I will see the Hunger Games movie. I love Jennifer Lawrence.
I hatttteeee love triangles too (especially in Enclave cuz i loovvveeee Fade <3 and it totally ruined his character but anyways) i think that we would totally miss them if the books like THG and twilight and matched (seeing as its about LOVE)
Also i will be checking out unearthly

NOO!! The movies will never ever be as good as the book..and by the way the guy playing Peeta looks nothing like him..And really this book is different. PLEASE read the books first!!

That's why I loved the love triangle in THG..she loved both of them equally.

well..I'm rooting for Xander, cause he's the underdog..and I feel bad for him..Actually it isn't even a love triangle because she doesn't love Xander in that way

Even if he is hot ;) haha The dude who plays peeta has like perfect eyes though. If only he had blonde hair.
Also its Jennifer Lawrence playing katniss who is 22!!! i think

well..they are a bit old..perfect eyes?? His looks creep me out a bit.
How old is Katniss? In TV/movies the actors are almost always way older. Everyone in Glee is in their twenties (one or 2 might be 30!)
I actually like to see movies first (crazy, i know) because the book is always better, so I don't feel let down by the movie after reading the book. Plus, I already know everything that happens in HG bc everyone has read it and told me all about it, so it's not like the movie will ruin the ending or anything.
ohh..well movies always ruin the books for me, anyway
and like the thing is that Jennifer looks older and Josh looks younger (Katniss +Peeta)..so it just might look like she's kissing her younger brother :(

like they are deep and pretty and "piercing blue" as Katniss puts it.
Katiss and Peeta are supposed to be 16. and yeah it could look awkward.

Josh's eyes? or Peeta's?
both ... well i haven't looked at Josh's pic lightly but from what i remember thinking, i thought they were like perfect
I am inclined to believe that her heart is with Ky. He is intriguing, and she seemed to have a great connection and amusement with Ky. Xander is pretty cool, but is only a friend. Sometimes friends can only be friends, not love interests. I can't wait for the second book. I am going to reread Matched, before I crack open the cover.Dori from Eugene Oregon
Ky.I like Xander, but I have a feeling that Cassia will choose Ky anyways.
But both guys are cool :)

i think that that's the good and bad part of this triangle, you like both and don't want Cassia to burn one and the good is that you can be happier with either one.

Well..I honestly don't think this is a love triangle. It is if she really loves both of them, and you could see her going for either one..I don't think she's gonna choose Xander, perhaps they'll have a few moments, but she'll always go for Ky :(((((
One name( drum roll) : Ky. I do feel bad for Xander though I like Ky better.
I like both of them..I just always root for the underdogs!!
I want Xander but Cassia chose Ky :(
Xander!! I really liked him since the beginning of the book... She needs to give a chance for him because he can make she happy but he needs a chance to get it right
Since it's so much like The Hunger Games, I say Ky. But tbh, I hate both Ky and Xander and Cassia. The book was awful. Just urgh.
Ky!!!! No competition.
what!! I root for the underdogs!!
Ky OF COURSE! I'm looking forward to the second book, It should be from Ky point of view, so we could learn a little bit more about his life. November 1st has a big circle in my calendary
it's half from Ky's POV and half from Cassia's. But I've heard complaints that the voices don't sound any different. :(
I geuss we will have to see in 6 days!!!!!! :D
Wait! It's only 6 days?! I'm not that excited for this book..It was good, but not amazing..A bit predicatble, but kept me interested for a few days.
Ky! He's so sweet and accepting of Cassia! I feel that Xander, though he loves Cassia, would try to make her conform a little bit to society to keep them under the radar...Ky is also just (in my mind) physically much better looking, not to mention ROMANTIC <3! Can't wait til Crossed comes out! XD
what! haha...I'm going with Xander cause he makes me sad and probably will forever be sad without Cassia....so is Ky, but *shrug*

I'm rooting for Xander. He's giving, kind, and has sacrificed so much for Cassia already. There's a quote from Matched that gives me hope:"Is falling in love with someone’s story the same thing as falling in love with the person himself?"
Cassia is in love with Ky's story - she's even in love with what he represents (freedom from society's restrictions), but is she really in love with HIM?
Like others, I doubt my hopes for Xander will be realized, but just once I'd like an author to take the romantic route less traveled and allow the kind hearted friend to triumph in love.
I feel bad for Xander but, Ky all the way!!!!! :)
THANK YOU!! (above comment!) That's what I exactly meant! I want the underdog to winn!!

post a new topic
Anyway...I rant about love triangles a lot, sorry :)
I read in the synopsis that in Crossed, Cassia and Ky are living in the Outer Provinces, happy and all, and then Xander shows up leading the rebellion at the end. Too bad I won't get much Xander, since from the synopsis it sounds like he doesnt show up until really late in the book. :(
