by Ally Condie
An excellent sequel to matched! I enjoyed matched and the world Ally Condie created for the story, and Crossed take reader to a completely new place in her universe. I was so transported to the carving that I was disoriented after closing the book. I looked around expecting to see a canyon and was confused when all I saw was my room. That being said the book was a little bit slow. Too much time is taken inside Cassia and Ky's heads and with all the thinking the action stalls in places. I was a big fan of some of the romantic twists and Ky's character growth is wonderful, although too symbol heavy for me.
Recommendations:
Obviously this book is absolutely required for anyone who read Matched, a reader who hasn't read Matched must read that book first. The series is definitely sequential. After reading this book I would still recommend fans of Hunger Games and Uglies read the series, but also Host fans would like this book especially and should read the entire series. Once again the slow parts are difficult to read through so I would recommend strong Young Adult readers only, not for low readers.
Stars:
7 out of 10
