Wishlist Wednesday


This book came to my attention not so long ago but I instantly loved the idea of the story and I look forward to reading it as soon as possible. It's Taken by

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?

  3. I've seen this around plenty, and I have to say it sounds very good, and I like the cover quite some. I'm not so sure if I'm going to pick it up, though. I guess I've read a bit too much dystopia lately. ^^
