There wasn't a whole lot of mystery in The Death Cure. It was more about survival and trust/betrayal. Which is fine, but I would've been happier with more questions answered about the sun flares, the virus, and the history surrounding the collapse of civilization. However, what we learn about what the Flare does to people is very well done. You see the virus at every stage, and it's terrifying.

I'm looking forward to the prequels and sequels.
