This is the third book in the Maze Runner trilogy by James Dashner. The author redeemed himself a bit in this book after the mess that was The Scorch Trials (book 2). I decided to read the third book so that I could get answers to all those questions that were still outstanding from the first 2 books.
Who/what is W.I.C.K.E.D.?
What part did Thomas and Theresa have in designing the various trials encountered in these books?
What caused The Flare and how close is W.I.C.K.E.D. to finding a cure? Have all these trials and death resulted in a cure?
What is going to happen to Newt?
Unfortunately, almost none of these questions are answered and even more crop up in the third book despite a very definite end to the story which leaves the reader unsatisfied.
I listened to both The Scorch Trials and The Death Cure on audio, narrated by Mark Deakins. Mr. Deakins did a fine job with the book and the characters (even the stereotypical accent/cadence of Jorge) and it was through no fault of the narrator that these books were such a letdown to me – especially book 2. There’s still the fourth book in the trilogy (lol), the Kill Order, to read but I might wait to give that a try.
Rating: 2.75
