![]() ![]() You could really come to understand how Cassia is raised and brought up, as well as her growth as she goes from living without question to suddenly noticing the invisible confines and lack of freedom she has grown used to. I loved how well done the setting and context were established. In all truth, the book wasn’t very action-packed. Some readers may also find that the story progresses rather slowly. It reminded me very much of The Giver by Lois Lowry. The cover also had a special connection with the story, but I’ll leave that to you to find out!Īlthough Matched has a good story, it didn't feel very original. The science-fiction aspect was also very interesting, such as how Society views things as experiments and uses collected data to make decisions. I really liked the story concept of a government in complete control. Now Cassia must choose between Ky and Xander and wonder if life is truly worth living under Society’s rules. Before his death, he leaves Cassia a pair of poems that were never approved by the Society. Just as she is getting ready for the next chapter, Cassia’s Grampa has also "come of age." According to Society rules, he will die. When she arrives home to view her Match’s port, the screen glitches and a different face appears, a Ky Markham. Cassia’s Match turns out to be her best friend, Xander. Cassia Reyes has "come of age" to be Matched. The Society makes all the decisions for everyone: job, date of death, what to read, what to watch. Diverse Easy Reader | Illustrated Chapter. ![]()

He changed since Twisted Emotions yet still feels the same Nino, still truthful to himself and it was nice to follow him in this journey of self discovery. We get to see them evolving individually and as couple, and I absolutely fell in love with Nino. While I felt there was something missing in Twisted Emotions, this book filled those blank spaces. I didn’t connect that fast with Kiara and Nino in Twisted Emotions (love the book) but it changed with Twisted Bonds. The books starts where Twisted Emotions ended and catches Twisted Pride events so I really advice people to read the previous books before starting this one. ![]() Twisted Bonds is the continuation of Twisted Emotions, Nino and Kiara’s story. ![]() ![]() Let’s go through the adventures one by one.įinessing the King + The Gentleman Dressed in Newspaper They do face a few disappointments, but with some courage, ingenuity and a fair bit of luck they do really well as “brilliant detectives”. ![]() It is impossible not to fall in love with these young fools with a knack and doggedness to pursue the criminals with the recklessness that comes out of not only bravery but innocence and naivety.

Tommy and Tuppence take to the idea enthusiastically and rope Albert (the young lad who was so fond of detective stories and who helped Tuppence in “ The Secret Adversary“) in to play the office boy.

I got “Burr” from a library free pile, and hence, am violating my usual practice- I like to read series in chronological order. He was also on The Simpsons that time!
