(Question: Would the series have been even more interesting if Cassia stayed with her Match, married Xander, had a perfect life and was living in the Society when the rebellions occurred? Imagine that-the rebellion from the perspective of an average, do-good citizen of the Society.) I'm still Team Xander all the way, though. The main character needs a conflict, otherwise we'd just be reading about how Cassia married Xander and had tons of gorgeous kids and a good and respectful life. Actually, that isn't entirely true-I know why she doesn't. Like I pointed out in the last book, I don't know why Cassia doesn't just pick Xander. In Crossed, the second book, Ky has been sent to a village to be a decoy villager to basically get slaughtered by the enemy, while Cassia is away at a work camp under the false pretenses that she was being a rebellious teenager and needed some conditioning (however, the real reason that she's there is because her parents arranged the whole thing to help her find Ky). I'm honestly bummed that this book didn't hold the same amount of that wow-factor for me as the first book in the trilogy, Matched, did. And a tangled web of lies and double-crosses could destroy everything. But on the edge of society nothing is as it seems. And when Cassia discovers Ky has escaped to the wild frontiers beyond the Society there is hope. Ky has been taken and she will sacrifice everything to find him.
