Waiting on Wednesday (4): REACHED by Allie Condie


"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.  

 R E A C H E D by Allie Condie (Matched, #3)
Releases November 13, 2012

Cassia faces the ultimate choices in the long-anticipated conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Matched Trilogy

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 #1 New York Times bestselling 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.


I've really enjoyed this series.  Book 1, MATCHED, has been my favorite - plenty of romance, angst, mystery and suspense.  Book 2, CROSSED, was good too, but much slower.  I admit, there were times I had a hard time picking it back up.  When it was good, it was really good, it just wasn't consistently exciting.   The cliffhanger ending was incredible and this is why I remain a fan and am anxious to get my grubby little fingers on REACHED.  With everything tying up and secrets revealed and Cassia choosing which love to pursue, it promises to be an epic ending!  Can't wait!  I'll be reading anything Allie Condie puts out, because you can bet it's going to be quality stuff.
 

What are you waiting on??

    1. Yes, a series worth following. Just be forewarned about the pace of Book 2, doesn't resemble Matched very much.

  3. Still need to read the second one, but I'm really curious about where the story will go and how it'll end, too. :)

    1. I know! I'm curious as to what directions she'll take us in the story. You can't count anybody out, and that's exciting. Book 2 is slower, so you know what to expect. Thanks for stopping by.

    1. Yeah, I can see how not everyone would get caught up in it. I don't blame you. It's got a different kind of feel, writing style and pace to it.

      Thanks, Jessica, for stopping by and commenting!

  5. I've seen this one a couple of times this week. I love the cover! I haven't read any of these yet, but I have Matched on reserve at the library, so I should be able to get started soon. Thanks for stopping by!

    1. I anticipate that this third book will be the best of all three. I certainly hope so, because I really liked the first one and it's so great when it builds and there's finally the big payoff. Hope you get the chance to read them and thanks for stopping by!
