First DNF of the year. I got to about 75 pages in and realized: I DON'T GIVE A SHIT WHAT HAPPENS TO THESE PEOPLE

Really that's it. I loved the Maze Runner books, devoured them back when they were released but I think this book is a perfect example of reading tastes changing over time.

It's not even what we expected, it tells us almost nothing about WHY everything was the way it was :/

XxTainaxX Curvy and Nerdy Lol yeah I've had that happen to me with a few YA and a few romance authors that pump them out like an assembly line (Susan Mallery, Diana Palmer)


Heather That's exactly happened to me with that book! I finished it but barely. I loved the trilogy. This was a a big disappointment.


Madison I hated this book so much. Like you said it tells you very little how everything happened it was just violent and gory for no reason at all.

Kim Bailey It does happen ... plus, I think sometimes authors just keep trying to pump out every last penny from a popular series as they can & the quality just goes downhill.

It's why I don't read a series until it's finished most times. Because I can't remember why I cared...

Yeah it wasn't as good as his other books, that's for sure.

It was super violent!!! And it all happened right from the beginning, no character development or anything!

I agree, this could have been so much more but it didn't feel like his heart was in it.
