After finally reading Lois Lowery’s The Giver, I felt compelled to delve into the book described to me as “a romantic Giver.” Ally Condie’s groundbreaking dystopian/utopian novel Matched challenges our understanding of life, queries, and the power of choice. Like The Giver’s illusory utopia, this world has meticulously eradicated pain, confusion, and the burden of choice. But in stripping away our ability to choose, have they also deprived us of our capacity to truly live?
Cassia eagerly anticipates her Match Banquet, where she will meet the man she is destined to marry. He hails from a different city, but through overseen interactions by Officials, she will acquaint herself with him, eventually starting a family. In Cassia’s realm, Officials have engineered a life where decisions are superfluous. They dictate the food they consume, the clothes they wear, their place of residence, their occupation, and even their life partners. Every day, prepackaged meals are delivered to their doorsteps, leaving no room for culinary choices. Even the waste they dispose of is monitored to ensure it aligns with the proper density and amount, relative to the provisions they receive. By eradicating the freedom of choice, they believe they have eliminated the possibility of making wrong decisions.
An anomaly disrupts Cassia’s Match Banquet. She is paired with Xander, her best friend, which is an unusual occurrence since Matches typically involve individuals from different cities. Although excited, Cassia realizes that their familiar bond means they will not experience the customary courtship rituals. Nonetheless, Cassia receives the box containing Xander’s card and plugs it into her portscreen to access information about him. But to her surprise, the card does not belong to Xander; it is Ky’s—a boy from their town. Although Cassia recognizes the error, her thoughts gravitate towards Ky, especially when she learns of his outcast status in society. Ky Markham is classified as an Aberration—an outsider within their structured society. While Aberrations can live and work in the Boroughs, they are denied significant roles and are prohibited from being Matched. Although they are not as dangerous as Anomalies, who are banned from the Boroughs, Aberrations are not fully accepted either.
Ky’s societal status captivates Cassia, and as they find themselves together in a new hiking group during their leisure time, she discovers genuine pleasure in his company. In fact, Ky becomes the sole recipient of the illegal poem gifted to her by her late grandfather (everyone in their society is “released” at the age of 80). The poem, “Do Not Go Gentle” by Dylan Thomas, lingers in Cassia’s mind. It exists outside the realm of the Hundred Poems—the limited collection approved by the Society. Everything else has been eradicated, and society members are only permitted to access the 100 approved works. Possessing knowledge of this poem is dangerous, but Cassia cannot forget it, as it serves as a poignant reminder of her grandfather. Ky comprehends this connection. The poem, Ky’s presence, and more begin to sow seeds of doubt within Cassia, challenging the Society’s prescribed existence and the absence of choice. While she cherishes her bond with Xander, her affection for Ky deepens. She harbors anger over her grandfather’s demise and resents the Officials’ ability to seize whatever they desire from her home. Cassia chooses not to go gentle; she longs to rage against the dying of the light.
Cassia has evolved into precisely what the Society has strived to eliminate—a young woman who yearns to exercise her own agency. I find the tenuous line between utopia and dystopia incredibly intriguing. A utopia is inherently flawed, teetering on the precipice of a dystopia, much like the world depicted in Matched. A dystopia may be a nightmarish realm, but there is always a glimmer of hope, and someone willing to defy tyranny. This beautifully written tale urges us to appreciate the significance of every choice we make, even the ones that seem arduous at the time. While choices may not always be easy or enjoyable, they remain ours to own and bear responsibility for. It may be tempting to relinquish the burden of deciding what to wear every day, but where does it end? At what point does surrendering control become an unbearable loss?
Matched is an extraordinary book that delves into profound questions while exploring budding romance. The reader empathizes with Cassia’s dilemma between Xander, her lifelong friend and confidant, and Ky, the one person who truly understands her. Both young men possess admirable qualities, making it impossible to determine whom one should root for. Yet, ultimately, we must all contemplate the number of choices we are willing to surrender. If we were in Cassia’s shoes, would we be content to continue our predictable existence with Xander, or would we be enticed by the vast unknown accompanying Ky? I urge you to embark on this journey and remember, in the end, it is your choice to make.

Lion Eyes audiobook Series Shifters Unbound
This captivating dystopian novel prompted profound contemplation within me. The denizens of this world are trapped in a society where every aspect of their lives is controlled and determined by the Officials. Their spouses, occupations, extracurricular activities, and even the day of their demise are predestined. Literature, music, and art have been reduced to a mere 100 masterpieces in each category, while everything else has been obliterated by the Officials. The people are forbidden to write, living under constant surveillance where even their dreams are recorded. They are allotted a specific amount of exercise, and exceeding that limit or engaging in vigorous activity marks them as individuals with body image issues. Food, delivered thrice daily, is strictly regulated. Emotions are regulated through pills, possessions are subject to scrutiny, and choices are outlawed. In this world, Cassia resides, but she finds no contentment in it.
The Officials have made a grave error. A glitch in the system reveals to Cassia the underlying corruption behind their decisions, igniting a rebellion within her as she strives to defy the system. While the chosen match for her might be ideal, compatible, and practical, she is consumed by her love for someone else. Love no longer holds significance. What if she rejects the assigned job? Regrettably, she is left with no choice. She cannot even select her own attire, except for the brief moment of her Matching Banquet, where she wears a beautiful green dress (symbolically portrayed on the book cover as a girl trapped in a glass sphere of dictatorship). The dress is chosen from an approved catalog, but she cannot keep it. Instead, she receives a small fragment of the fabric encased in glass once the banquet concludes. This is the level of control the Officials exercise. The people are drugged to forget, lost in a realm of conformity, and brainwashed into believing that this existence is acceptable. Cassia encounters an individual who remembers the past, possessing access to “destroyed” writings and knowledge of writing itself. He acquaints her with the history of humanity, far superior to their present circumstances. As Cassia rebels and unravels the past, she unearths mounting corruption. Additionally, she finds herself deeply enamored—with the wrong person. Determined to effect change, she takes charge of her own destiny.
I am truly enamored with this book. Its passages are often poetic and lyrical, painting vivid landscapes that transport the reader into the scenes. The emotions and sentiments are easily comprehensible, and the situations resonate on a personal level. The characters are genuine, breathing life into the narrative. I formed a strong connection with the entire storyline. Cassia, our remarkable protagonist, does not embody the same level of rule-breaking rebellion as Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games, but this is only the first book. The potential for further rebellion looms ahead. Initially timid, Cassia evolves and grows throughout the course of the book, developing resilience and fortitude. Her character progression is commendable. I thoroughly enjoyed the love triangle, which I believe ultimately symbolizes the conflict between rebellion and submission. Cassia is instructed to follow one path, but her heart yearns for the forbidden. It is a relatable predicament on various levels. The dynamics she shares with each of the two boys in this triangle are intriguing. One exudes innocence and sweetness—the exploration of childhood friends discovering their imminent marriage and the emergence of new feelings dictated by society. The other, forbidden yet equally if not more endearing, engages in clandestine encounters, grappling with suppressed desires. Personally, I find this relationship more genuine, as it harbors a sense of authenticity. While a touch more chemistry between them would have been appreciated, I understand the necessity for subtlety to protect both parties. Considering the rebellion that is likely to unfold in subsequent books, I anticipate an intensification of their chemistry. All in all, this book was truly remarkable, and I derived immense pleasure from its pages.

Audiobook Lion Eyes by Cris Dukehart
Le doy 3 estrellas porque no me agradó, me pareció extremadamente aburrido y repetitivo. Todo el libro se resume en un párrafo. A pesar de eso, llegó rápido y no tuve problemas con la compañía.

Audio Lion Eyes narrated by Cris Dukehart
The romance had a sweet quality to it, and it was refreshing to encounter a love triangle that didn’t involve immature and self-centered characters. The world-building and dystopian elements, however, felt somewhat limited and peculiar (a computer and computer nerds arranging marriages for seventeen-year-olds and controlling their choice of colors? Really? o_O). Nevertheless, the characters possessed depth and complexity. I appreciated Cassia’s willingness to embrace new knowledge and her genuine love for her family and friends. Cassia, along with her family, friends, and love interests, evoked sympathy and felt genuinely human. While the story lacked significant action and unfolded at a slower pace, the well-developed characters compensated for this.

I like the concept of this. But it is extremely slow, and I found Cassia hard to like until the last few chapters.
