I felt that the plague plot was extremely drawn out. (My Biology qualification strikes again!) I thought Ky’s was the most irrelevant (mostly because he caught the plague, so didn’t have much to contribute) and Xander’s was too bogged down in immunisation jargon. There were three different perspectives in ‘Reached’, one from Cassia, Xander and Ky. Two things happened in this book: a plague was discovered that was being used to wipe out the ‘enemy’ (who were the enemy? We never find out.) but the plague had been caught by just about everyone that wasn’t the enemy, and democracy was founded.
But, that’s also a lot of time for me to invest in finishing the series and my overall opinion was that it could have been wrapped up in about 200 pages max. That’s a lot of time in which to conclude a trilogy.
Well, ‘Reached’ followed through on the answers thing, but it was safe to say this book was less than spectacular.
The first two books felt like they were building up to this finale, and all the questions were going to be answered. ‘Reached’ is the third and final book in the ‘Matched’ trilogy.
