Taken by Erin Bowman captivates with its intriguing premise and fast-paced action but struggles with character development and plot originality. Readers appreciate the mysterious world-building and gripping narrative but find the romance underwhelming and the protagonist's journey somewhat predictable. Overall, it offers an engaging but imperfect read for dystopian fans.
Readers who would enjoy Taken by Erin Bowman are typically young adults who appreciate dystopian themes, mysterious plots, and strong character development. They might also enjoy The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and Divergent by Veronica Roth, which target a similar audience with their gripping narratives and suspenseful twists.
