What I found frustrating when reading this book, is that we start from Cassia’s point of view. She is an Aberration as well, and seeking the Rising, which is the uprising rebelling against the Society. Her friend, Indie, is also on this airship. Eventually Cassia gets a chance to go to the outer provinces herself, by sneaking onto an airship she’s not supposed to be on.
Xander, I think, is sad that Cassia still wants to go after Ky. She decided to keep the blue tablets Xander gave her, thinking she’ll need them for the journey when she eventually knows where to go. This is what she trades for information to try and find Ky. The artefacts are basically family heirlooms, which the Officials confiscated in Matched because they basically contribute to inequality, but Cassia was able to save a compass, which was Ky’s artefact. They go to visit a museum, where Cassia trades an artefact for a map – which is in fact a song. One day, Cassia meets Xander – on the day where the people who have been Matched typically for the first time, Xander has pointed out that usually the guy goes to visit the girl, and since Cassia and her family have been relocated, he should get to go and meet her and have a date. He’s become friends with Vick, and the two of them have started burying their friends as they die. Ky is in the outer provinces, where he has managed to stay alive, despite people being sent there to die – Aberrations specifically, boys only where Ky is, and they’re there to make the village look inhabited to the Enemy. It was certainly interesting, because in Matched we only got Cassia’s point of view.Ĭassia is at a work camp, and every few weeks she gets moved to a different one, it seems. This book alternates between Cassia and Ky, so every other chapter is by one person and the rest are by the others.
I do also think that the events occurred over a much smaller time span than in Matched. I feel like much less happened in this book than in Matched. As always, do not read beyond this point if you don’t want spoilers for Matched and Crossed!Ĭrossed was a slower book for me to read. It’s been about a month and 10 days between me finishing Matched and finishing Crossed, as I’ve not been reading constantly, as well as reading some other things alongside it. I’d started writing that post while still reading the book, but this time I’ve finished the book before writing the post. I’ve started writing this post immediately after posting my previous post about Matched.
