There are so many mixed reviews... I just wanted to know if people didn't like it because of the story or the writing style, i.e. if the story is worth giving a shot even though the book might not contain heavy emotional moments or does it? I'm totally confused here.

It felt rushed and underdeveloped. I didn't feel connected to the characters in a meaningful way at all. I didn't feel like there were real heavy emotional moments personally but I'm sure that is due, in part to the fact that I didn't feel much for any of the characters. The idea is a fire e idea but I felt like it was left a little hollow and rushed. That said it's a really easy, super fast read so you don't lose much time by reading it even if you don't love it but I'd say check it out at the library rather than shell out the $10. But that's just my opinion. Good luck.(less)

honestly i just started this series, I'm on the second book frozen and i love it! probably my favorite series this year! one thing i love and hate , is when i end each book i have so many questions and want more but i have to wait and find the rest of the books!! I'm so excited to read stolen and forged.what I'm wondering though is should i be reading stolen once I'm done the trilogy or does it matter?

STOLEN gives insight and background to Bree's character, and there are a few details in the novella that come up in both FROZEN and FORGED. Because of this, I always suggest reading STOLEN after TAKEN but before finishing the series. Hope you enjoy. :)(less)

I really enjoyed this book, are there any other books that are like this one? Thank you...

Erin Bowman If you liked Taken, I'd also recommend The Maze Runner (Dashner), Legend (Lu), Under The Never Sky (Rossi), or Variant (Wells). Happy reading!…moreIf you liked Taken, I'd also recommend The Maze Runner (Dashner), Legend (Lu), Under The Never Sky (Rossi), or Variant (Wells). Happy reading!(less)
