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.

The only reason I wouldn't give it 5 starts is because sometimes I felt like there was somethings that really didn't have to happen and he just added them in there to make the book longer.  It is over all very entertaining and a very easy read. I just feel a lot of some of the stuff that is happening in the series as a whole is getting very repetitive, but I still am very much enjoying it. Most of the characters are all very lovable. I feel like somethings he did go over/move on way to fast; but I guess that is also the point of the book, because most of the time they are in dire circumstances where you can't really linger on one thing too long or you'll end up dead. Overall I very much enjoyed it!

This one wasn't as good as the Scorch Trials or Maze Runner, but was a satisfying end to the series. It felt a bit rushed at the end, like too much plot had to happen to wrap it up. So much shit went down with almost no elaboration.
Again, I felt that the romance was forced and that the whole hatred between the girls was silly and unneeded.
Surprisingly violent and graphic, not that I'm complaining, because it made it more realistic. But you always expect a level of censorship for YA novels but the list of deaths in this one is staggering.
It was kind of cute that the boys kept getting into really dumb and stupid situations even after everything they had been through. 

 

Newt's death was absolutely traumatizing. I knew that he died bc of I watched all the movies first. But the DIALOGUE???? THE NOTE??? Ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch ohhhhhhhh I'm in agony...fuck I loved that character
Fuck Theresa I could not care less. A lil disappointed her death was so gross
Loved how Tommy and Gally made up <3
Deaths in this one: Crushed by rocks, Swiss cheese by machine gun, cannibalism, sawed into pieces, kebabed by a greiver, cut throat by glass, run over by car, shot point blank, All on screen bby
