![]() ![]() I liked that all my questions were answered. He was like a messiah – everyone was waiting for him to show up. Too much time was spent deliberating over who the ‘Pilot’ was, when I still don’t know if he actually existed. But the cure was like finding out Tris was divergent because she was ‘genetically pure’. I was hoping they’d find a cure so the book would end already. I actually used the word ‘bored’ to describe how I felt when slogging past page 300. I felt that the plague plot was extremely drawn out. (My Biology qualification strikes again!) I thought Ky’s was the most irrelevant (mostly because he caught the plague, so didn’t have much to contribute) and Xander’s was too bogged down in immunisation jargon. There were three different perspectives in ‘Reached’, one from Cassia, Xander and Ky. Two things happened in this book: a plague was discovered that was being used to wipe out the ‘enemy’ (who were the enemy? We never find out.) but the plague had been caught by just about everyone that wasn’t the enemy, and democracy was founded. But, that’s also a lot of time for me to invest in finishing the series and my overall opinion was that it could have been wrapped up in about 200 pages max. That’s a lot of time in which to conclude a trilogy. ![]() Well, ‘Reached’ followed through on the answers thing, but it was safe to say this book was less than spectacular. ![]() ![]() The first two books felt like they were building up to this finale, and all the questions were going to be answered. ‘Reached’ is the third and final book in the ‘Matched’ trilogy. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Maya started writing romance novels because for her, “my preferred authors might never mark them fast sufficient.” following a a small number of books, it was no longer about keeping herself entertained but as long as activity, down with spreading hope and happiness that became her motivating factor so far. ![]() Beginning of her love for romantic novels, which matured with each passing day and finally that passion made her a bestselling plus award charming author of numerous elegant and most popular romance novels.

You pick up any novel of Maya Rodale and you will realize how true these words are “……the kind that make you forget you are reading…” You keep on turning pages relating yourself with the characters, witnessing their struggles, experiencing their feelings. ![]() “Romance readers and writers do know good writing - it is the kind that make you forget you are reading, that transports you to other worlds, make you feel all the feelings, and makes you want to pick up another book and repeat the experience.” That is exactly how Maya Rodale describes romantic writing. ![]() ![]() Söderberg, Hjalmar Erik Fredrik - ▪ Swedish author born, June/July 2, 1869, Stockholm, Sweden died Oct.
