It would have been better if I had read the other Maze Runner books more recently, because there were references to things I've forgotten. But it was still good to find out what happened to Newt after he had left the series.

emotionally this wrecked me haha had to read it with breaks because it'd get a bit overwhelming... it's so tragic i cant 😭

But on the other hand, in all rationality, the writing didn't sit well with me. It felt like the book needed another revision. There were some scenes that felt like unnecessary fillers? Fillers that could've been taken by something a little more. Content wise maybe i was expecting a biiiit more from Dashner. I wanted more on Newt's character rather than the circumstances he was going through... he kept describing surroundings and other people but i wanted the book to focus on NEWT ONLY

Still enjoyed the book tho fuck u james 😭😭
