Thomas needed Scorch Trials to grow up and become the leader that he is destined to be but the plot devices used to achieve that was so cliche. Dashner definitely had good intentions for book two (let the leads go on another experiment and introduce a new side to their personalities) but he went about some of it in the most disappointing or let’s say, unimaginative way. Onto Scorch Trials aka the beginning of the series’ downfall. MY REVIEW: 3 of 5 stars to The Scorch Trials by James Dashner ★★★ Their survival depends on the Gladers’ destruction-and they’re determined to survive. And WICKED has made sure to adjust the variables and stack the odds against them.įriendships will be tested. The Gladers have two weeks to cross through the Scorch-the most burned-out section of the world. Thomas was sure that escape from the Maze would mean freedom for him and the Gladers. Solving the Maze was supposed to be the end. “Guess that’s better then no hope at all.”
It’s also well-paced and perhaps that is the reason why this book is the best in the series. Since it’s an introduction to the series and we are navigating Dashner’s writing style for the first time, we get a lot of surprises that keep the experience exciting. The Maze Runner is a solid beginning to a series and definitely the star. MY REVIEW: 4 of 5 stars to The Maze Runner by James Dashner ★★★★ And the message she delivers is terrifying. It’s the only way out-and no one’s ever made it through alive. Outside the towering stone walls that surround the Glade is a limitless, ever-changing maze. He’s surrounded by strangers-boys whose memories are also gone. When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his name. Maze Runner set the bar a little too high that the succeeding books failed to follow through. The first book surpassed expectations and more, packed with exciting action and never before ‘seen’ elements that would both intrigue and spook the reader. The Maze Runner series is a post-apocalyptic story set in the time of what they call, “Sun Flares,” a phenomenon that caused a massive outbreak of the so-called, “Flare virus.” Wicked, an organization aimed at finding cure for the said virus, started an experiment among the “immunes” and there we find our young hero, Thomas, who may just be the key to finding the cure.ĭashner knew what he was doing when he started The Maze Runner series but lost that along the way. Series Title: The Maze Runner Author: James Dashner Status: Completed Number of Books: 3 (plus two prequels) Genre: Young Adult Dystopia Series (Average) Rating: 3/5 stars ★★★
