A good book to end the trilogy on. The main cast as been through a lot and the world is f*cked beyond hope. WICKED has lost their mind and are trying to find the cure at any means and I mean by any means. The ending of the book was a little disappointing and left way to much unanswered about the future of the characters and the world.

Sadly Newt also dies which is absolutely heartbreaking.

It was fine. Fast paced and there's a lot of things going on - the characters are never in one place for long. I didn't really care for the characters by the end.

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.

There are semi-graphic depictions of a lot of wounds and deaths.

 “I don't think there is a right or wrong anymore. Only horrible and not-quite-so-horrible.”
