I enjoyed "Crossed"--there were some good moments of suspense and the love triangle between Cassia, Xander and Ky grows more tangled. I do have to say though, there were some elements of the story that were very muddled, and I didn't find them convincing enough to read closely and even try to figure out. Put the society elements from "Hunger Games" in a blender, along with 1984, and you get some weirdo elements that make up Condie's Society vs. Rising descriptions. Somewhat contrived, while also being a little too confusing to make it as streamlined as the Hunger Games trilogy. I'm still excited for the next book, and enough has kept me interested to see exactly how the story will unfold.

I really have to say especially how much I spent on these books the ending sucked so badly. It like it just totally dropped off. Worst ending ever. Could of been more suspense, action, detail. But its more of love story then survibg or dystopia type ....disappointed
