Our view
“Reached” closes the “Matched” trilogy, a finale best suited to readers already attached to its three narrators. Cassia, Ky and Xander share the telling of a rebellion and the race to cure a plague across more than five hundred pages. Some readers who liked the series’ premise find this last book slow and predictable and its prose flat, lifted mainly by the closing chapters.

About the book
Reached is a 2012 young adult dystopian novel by Allyson Braithwaite Condie and is the final novel in the Matched Trilogy, preceded by Matched and Crossed. The novel was published on November 13, 2012, by Dutton Juvenile and was set to have a first printing of 500,000 copies. The novel is told from the viewpoints of Cassia, Ky, and Xander, a point that Condie insisted on. The plot follows the experiences of the three protagonists with the rising of the rebellion against the Society, the race to find the cure against a plague of mysterious origin, and discovering the real intentions of the Rising. Critical reception of the novel was positive and it reached No. 6 on USA Today's Best Selling Books list in 2012.
