Idontdo Photoshop idontdophotoshop — Andrea always knew she was different from her sisters. Unlike the other princesses who were content studying to be a lady with her mother, the queen, Andrea longed to become a squire and serve in the army. When she turns fourteen (17 in Earth years), her father ends her dream and sentences her to lady lessons with her mother. As Andrea struggles with her new life, her longing to be more overwhelms her. One night after fleeing her father's palace Andrea stumbles upon a gateway to another world (Earth) and learns how different life could be. When she returns to her world, however, everything begins to crumble as her kingdom readies for a war she may have inadvertently caused. I can't say how much I enjoyed this book. I usually don't read a lot of books with a time travel (or in this case world traveling) element. I can say I was honestly surprised by how smoothly this story flowed between the two worlds and how intricate the history was. Andrea's character is really what drives you through this novel. You have a smart, strong willed young woman who wants more from life than what her parents seek for her. Her story draws you in, and you find yourself eagerly flipping pages to find out what will happen next in the story. Her sadness will tug at your heartstrings and her happiness will leave you with a big smile on your face. While the other characters aren't as well fleshed out as Andrea, this isn't a problem as you spend so much of your time in Andrea's head seeing things as a young woman who is absorbed in her own life will see them. The details and background stories gradually come forward as Andrea herself learns the truth. The transitions from one world to the other was smoothly done. I love how the author explained how Andrea was able to grasp the English so quickly and was pleasantly surprised when she addressed directly rather than leaving the reader to come up with their own explanations. Overall this book is a gem. A likable heroine, a riveting story, and a lot of emotion. I want more like this! I loved it! Cautions for sensitive readers: Some violence, but otherwise a clean read.

Sofiah Ridwan sofiahridwan — Library Journal says "...fans will be waiting for this one." I imagine that prior to being cut, it said "ONLY fans will be waiting for this one." As the culmination in a series of paranormal romances mainly centered on vampires, this one certainly did disappoint. The two main characters are already married at the start of the novel, which is odd for a romance, but that doesn't mean they bicker any less or trust each other any more. And theirs is the love that is supposed to conquer all, including a centuries old demon that even Lucian doesn't know how to deal with. Whatever. I also think this series of books has the same (really terrible) editor. I have continually been stunned by the myriad errors in each book, mostly of the variety spell check doesn't catch ('a time to reap and a time to sew", for example). Really, I'm quite chagrined that I wasted so much time reading this series.

Ben Case bencasephotography — Perhaps it's because the field for dystopian fiction is flooded with really wonderful books at the moment, but considering its competition this was pretty middle-of-the-road for me. The premise behind the Society in Matched is basically insane micromanagement; they tell you what you eat, when you die, what your job is and who you marry. The last condition is the one that sets the story in motion when Cassia is finally old enough to attend her own Match Ceremony and meet her future husband. What the plot eventually shapes up to rest upon is a love triangle, which really lacked substance. While one of the boys was Cassia's best friend, her attraction to the other contender is based on a few flimsy interactions, sympathy for his life story and pretty eyes. If it was just a crush, then that'd be one thing...but the idea that someone would actually risk their world for someone they honestly barely know is a pretty immature one (and one I would discourage girls from pursuing). My other peeve with this is that the two boys end up representing different life paths and choices for Cassia in which the option of "none of the above, just go and figure out who you are as an individual" is never discussed. If you can ignore the love triangle's flaws, then the story had some interesting twists and turns to it and posed the requisite philosophical questions that such a government tends to raise: what is the tradeoff between choice and happiness? Would we rather be free or content? How important is our right to choose and make mistakes for ourselves? What should we be willing to risk for freedom?

Caro Velázquez caroveha2464d7 — oh my gosh i loved this book sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo so so much a.k.a. A LOT!!!! It was so good with a sort of evil tone and it was really fast paced. I would recommend this to ANY FIFTH GRADE GIRL who needs a new, really good, series. I have the 2nd book on hold and can't wait to read it! I didn't get how all the girls were so nice to Claire and then they would just start hating her again. I really don't like Alicia, she seems so mean and critical. And the same thing with Massie. Read this and you won't regret it!!!
