I was eagerly anticipating to start the final book in the Matched trilogy in the hopes of finally seeing what the Rising was capable of and how it would overthrown the Society. I was not totally disappointed, but I was not satisfied either. The book had a very steady and mellow pace and it's not what you would call a thrilling page-turner. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it and didn't want to put it down! ❇
The love triangle that appeared on the first book is still present, even though it never crossed my mind that Xander was a true threat to Cassia and Ky's love. Generally, I am not a big fan of love triangles, as I believe the hero should be mature and clever enough to choose one person, rather than being "I love him because of that..." and "but I love him too..." and stuff like that. Instead of enhancing the plot, it lessens my appreciation for the character. ❇
The rebellion was smart but not what I was expecting. The transition between the Rising and the Society was too easy and in the end I didn't feel anxious about whether or not the virus could be killed and if everyone would live or die. ❇
Summing up, I enjoyed reading this trilogy and I decided to overlook stuff that other people might be raging about and focus on stuff that really made my reading experience pleasurable!
