YA Buddy Readers' Corner ♥ discussion

There are no men in Claysoot. There are boys—but every one of them vanishes at midnight on his eighteenth birthday. The ground shakes, the wind howls, a blinding light descends…and he’s gone.

They call it the Heist.

Gray Weathersby’s eighteenth birthday is mere months away, and he’s prepared to meet his fate–until he finds a strange note from his mother and starts to question everything he’s been raised to accept: the Council leaders and their obvious secrets. The Heist itself. And what lies beyond the Wall that surrounds Claysoot–a structure that no one can cross and survive.

Climbing the Wall is suicide, but what comes after the Heist could be worse. Should he sit back and wait to be taken–or risk everything on the hope of the other side?

Melek and I will be reading Taken this month. Feel free to join in!

16%: So far it is going well. Emma seems a little too off, but I like the other characters, starting with Gray. Still, everyone not to be too curious about what is happening is a little too weird.

28%: I say they are a little too lucky.

45%: Something is off. We are finding answers as well as some new questions, but it doesn't feel right. I'm not sure yet.

61%: Damn. That was unexpected.

71%: I like the subject, but I think it could have been written better. Still, I've seen enough of the bad examples of the same context to appreciate this one. At least a 3/5.

86%: I don't want to finish this book. I want it to end, but I dn't want to finish it. There is action and all, but it started to get boring a little.

Done.

Ooh speedy reading Melek. I'm in a really bad reading slump at the moment! Hopefully will start and finish this book within this month T_T

Haha, no worries, take your time! :)

I found the thread :-)

Yay! Looking forward to this one

I started a bit early because it was the only interesting book in my kindle on my train ride...
Chapter 4 (view spoiler)[Blaine's Heist was horrible! Poor Gray and to make matters worse he finds a letter from their mom telling Blaine that Grays different somehow. But we don't know because it's incomplete! That's a bit frustrating. (hide spoiler)]

I just realised this was to start on the 20th! My bad! i thought it was 11th. I can put this book on hold till then

We were going to start Rebel Bell on the 11th, you could start that one.. It is also confusing so many books, so many dates, I can't keep it straight myself :-)

I will start Rebel Belle tomorrow instead and continue Taken on the 20th! Too many books and it's hard to check on the mobile version!

End of chapter 11- (view spoiler)[so Gray and Blaine are actually twins? Why was Maude being so suspicious. Was she communicating via computer or something? Who are these people who saved Emma and Gray over the wall? I hope to get some answers soon! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 15 - (view spoiler)[There's something suspicious about Frank...He's not telling Gray the whole truth. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 23 (view spoiler)[bree finally makes her appearance. I wonder if there will be a love interest there for Gray although I do like Emma. I'm curious to find out more about the rebels (hide spoiler)]

End of chapter 29 (view spoiler)[wow two months in crevice valley. That means Emma was imprisoned for that long!! What's frank planning now? (hide spoiler)]

I haven't forgotten about you :-) I've just really overbooked myself, and all the other books are more appealing to me :-) I will read this eventually, but at least you get the extra buddy points :-)

Heya Berit. It has barely been 20th march for you so it's my bad for starting early :p I have also overbooked myself and skipped some so it's ok

Chapter 34 (view spoiler)[gosh I hate franks guts. Did he really figure out how to successfully create more forgeries? How are Bree, Gray and Harvey meant to escape from this mess (hide spoiler)]

Christina, I don't want to read the spoilers, do you like it?

@Berit
I just finished and yes I liked it a lot! But don't feel obliged to read it if you have some other books you'd like to read now. I know that feeling :)
