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.
