The death cure setting series#

I love James Dashner's writing, I liked the book, don't get me wrong but I am really amazed at people who gave this book 5/5 stars. (3) Who is this Paige Chancellor? Why didn't she go to paradise with them? (2) How in the world did they end up in a green paradise with a hundred or so immunes so they can start over? Umm, hello? What about the rest of the freaking world? Hell, I even wanted Minho's and Newt's memories back and Brenda's past. (1)I wanted Thomas to his memory back so we could learn exactly what he and Teresa did before the Trials and why were they specifically chosen. How could this book even end without satisfying the readers? Atleast the author could have saved 300-50 something people. ? She was the main heroine! How in the world can you kill the main heroine and replace her with a side kick? I do NOT approve this.ДЄnd then 300 people killed out of 500? Ouch. In simple words, I loved it.Д«ut, then comes Teresa. I felt for that guy and I am so happy to say that James Dashner did a really good job in his ending. Now readers who didn't read this book might find this fail spoiler-ish.ДЇirst of all. Minho for being the best of the best, Jorge for always being there and Newt for never giving up. Weren't you just a side ass character introduced in the second book? Then honey, why? WHY are you the main heroine here? She came and she went and I was just like, 'Pfft. I am either proud or totally miserable to say that I don't know her at all. To be totally honest, Teresa is just like a random stranger on the road I see everyday. Come on! He could act like he loved people or atleast cared about someone just more than friends. I do believe Thomas here just had this emotion for everything.ДЇrom deaths to betrayals to everything, he just considered every living human being as a friend. I was reading it non-stop and then suddenly in the middle of no where I am like, 'WTH is going on?'ДЇAIL 1: CHARACTERS, CHARACTERS, CHARACTERS! The story started with a good potential, it was interesting, I was feeling it. And please do not freaking tell me that this is what we readers are getting after being such a fan of both The Maze Runner and Scorch Trials books.ДЄfter happily reading The Scorch Trails and then excitedly waiting for this book for about 6 months, I yet again screamed with happiness (as I also did with another book Bloodlines) when I got to read it. Do not tell me that the author just didn't answer all the questions we were waiting for. Do not tell me that this is the last book of this trilogy. Let me bang my head until the author proves that there is one more book to be published for us readers, or if this book was just a really, really good joke. After happ This book was- *wait a moment* And please do not freaking tell me that this is what we readers are getting after being such a fan of both The Maze Runner and Scorch Trials books.

That way, if youвЂ™re disappointed, at least youвЂ™re not out of pocket.This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. My recommendation would be, if youвЂ™re reading or have read books 1 and 2 and want to finish the series, borrow The Death Cure from a friend or the library. Then we get two pages which are meant to wrap everything up, but instead left me thinking, вЂњTHATвЂ™S IT?!вЂќ A key character is killed off in a few sentences. But after all the suffering the characters have gone through and all the intrigue, I felt underwhelmed by the revelations.ДЇinally, the events of the last chapter felt incredibly rushed. If youвЂ™ve taken a break between installments this issue may not be as noticeable.

It was clear to me because I read the books back-to-back.

However, IвЂ™m not sure youвЂ™d notice this so much if you read the series with a big gap between the books.

I made a similar criticism of Allegiant (Divergent #3) and The Death Cure has similar вЂњend of seriesвЂќ issues. But in The Death Cure the characters lurch from one episode and location to the next, getting into trouble just to have something to do. In the first two installments, the trials provided solid structures/settings and clear plot lines (1: the Maze and getting out of it 2: the Scorch and getting across it). If youвЂ™d like some more background, read my reviews of The Maze Runner (Book 1) and The Scorch Trials (Book 2). Now will the survivors get their memories back and help WICKED save mankind from a lethal pandemic? TheyвЂ™ve escaped the Maze and made it across the Scorch. A disappointing end to a promising series.

A series of chaotic incidents rather than a strong conclusion.
