Crank Palace by James Dashner

malachikana's review against another edition

4.0

It felt as though dashner finally understood his audience was a few years older on this one since the first maze runner. Some light swearing, a bleak storyline, and a deviation from the main character make this one of the more compelling books from the series.
Newt is one of the characters I feel like we all cared about the most, especially since finding out about his biological makeup in regards to the disease. His end felt rather jarring in the series, but luckily dashner explores what happens to poor newt during his descent into madness.
It is one of the strongest books in the series, and I highly recommend if you are a fan.

1.5

questionable quality as expected but also somehow reached a new low (used the phrase absolutely zonked)??
as it went on it lost the emotional punch i was expecting, the plot was too loose and didn't make sense, didn't really feel like the character moments were earned...and the last part that would have interacted with the death cure felt brushed over. epilogue left more questions that i didn't want, much like each new book in this series honestly. 
knew what i was getting into, hoped my favorite character would make it better but alas :/

Me gustó, pero algunas cosas iban muuuuy rápido y otras muuuuy lento

Pre-reseña
Estuve pensando por mucho tiempo si leer este libro o no.

Maze Runner y los libros en general de James Dashner significan mucho para mí y marcaron gran parte de mi vida de forma positiva, sin embargo, no podemos olvidar que el autor es un acosador sexual.

Como alguien me regaló el libro hace un par de meses, estuve pensando en si empezar a leerlo o no, y pues al final decidí leerlo. Eso sí, si alguien está interesado en leer este libro por favor tenga en mente que James Dashner es un acosador sexual admitido, y tiempo después borró las publicaciones donde admitía haber acosado sexualmente a mujeres para poder vender más libros y a la fecha sigue lucrándose con el mundo de Maze Runner.

Si desean leer los libros consideren buscarlos en bibliotecas o comprarlos de segunda mano para no apoyar al autor puesto que no se lo merece (o leerlos en epub/pdf).

Por lo mismo cuando acabe este libro, no le pondré una calificación en Goodreads ya que no deseo apoyar al autor.
