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?

Boring.
There is nothing interesting or new in this one, just another paint-by-the-numbers dystopian novel with lots of twists and secrets and action and instalove triangles and characters I barely remember at all. I did skim the last half of the novel, but at that point I was bored and only wanted some answers to all the secrets flying around.
One good thing: Gray gets answers pretty quickly (and more questions, but then those get answered as well). That was nice.
