I quite enjoyed the first book in the Taken series, and this second one was also entertaining. However, I'd forgotten who the characters were and what they had gone through in the first book, so it took awhile for me to get on board with them again. (I never really quite remembered what was going on with the Order.) Grey is becoming more of a leader as they venture toward AmWest. Prominent struggles include transportation, Forgeries, and running across random kids. Not a detailed summary, but really it's dystopian YA so read it if that's your thing. I'd likely have given the book a 4 if I'd read it just after the first.
