Crossed by Ally Condie



After watching Ky being taken away by Officials during the night, Cassia knows that he is being sent to the Outer Provinces and his death. Cassia is being shipped from work camp to work camp as the Society tries to mold her back into the sorter she was slated to be. She is still in contact with Xander, her Society Match. Ky is fighting to stay alive and burying the bodies of the boys who don't make it in the villages where they are serving as decoys for the Enemy. Both hear rumors of the Rising, a group who is rebelling against the Society. But when Ky and Cassia both break free, they find information that not only makes them further question the Society, but also whether their love can really last.

The beginning of this story was great: bouncing between narration by Cassia and Ky, knowing how hard they were trying to get back to each other, and seeing the obstacles they were both trying to overcome. I was very disappointed with the ending, though, because it was very abrupt. I'm hoping that it was just because there's much more to come in the final book of this trilogy that still doesn't have a name and is (hopefully) coming out in November 2012!

  1. I agree, the ending left me wanting more substance, or more to ponder. Can't wait for the next one!
