5 posts | 17 read | 19 to read
Fans of Incarceron by Catherine Fisher and Variant by Robison Wells won't want to miss this magnetic first book in a gripping dystopian sci-fi series. Marie Lu, New York Times bestselling author of the Legend trilogy, raves that Taken is "an action-packed thrill ride from beginning to end. More, please!" Gray Weathersby has grown up expecting to disappear at midnight on his eighteenth birthday. They call it the Heist—and it happens to every boy in Claysoot. His only chance at escape is to climb the Wall that surrounds Claysoot. A climb no one has ever survived . . .

This book was very quick paced. It could have given a lot more descriptions and gone much more in depth. Instead it felt a little rushed. Characters didn't have time to develop, and often changed without explanation.

This had a strong start, but then I started noticing more and more weaknesses. It was very predictable. The romance was insta-lovey. I felt like I was being told emotions instead of feeling them. The pace felt rushed. I DID, however, like the world and the conflict. I wasn't left feeling bored despite the predictable twists.

Did I mention I like dystopians? These were all the ones I hadn't read when I took the picture but I've added some more since. And by 'some' I mean 11 😅
.
Anyone have more favourite dystopians to recommend?
