I really enjoyed analyzing this series again after watching the movies. Looking at the differences in medium and how those differences influenced the perception of characters was a fun challenge. These books are so much more brutal than their movie counterparts, and the characters are much bitchier and more hardened in the best way possible. I really enjoyed Dashner's usage of full-circle plotlines in this book, and that we can see elements and themes from all the way back in book one resurface in this installment of the series. It was fun to revisit this series after reading it in middle school. My opinions on a lot of things have definitely changed, and I'm guessing my perception on the prequels might have changed as well. Dashner did a great job with this trilogy. I'm glad I picked it up again. Also, Mark Deakins has a great reading voice for this audiobook.

the death cure does what many dystopian franchises struggle to do: exit the original premise of their world and still satisfy the readers who came for that premise. hunger games did it, divergent did not. the death cure finds the perfect balance between the mystery of WICKED that the readers want to unearth and the development of the characters we’ve grown to love.
it starts strong, with our three musketeers showing they are yet again the gayest bunch of straight boys ever. (dashner, you missed an opportunity to make this the pioneer of gay science fiction) it slows down in the middle (probably because minho is not there to keep the plot moving by punching people) and then races to the finish with all the emotions.
many people criticize page 250. to them, i simply say: get a grip, it was needed. the book would be a 4.0 and not a 4.5 if that page didn’t happen. emotional sacrifice, character growth, it was a crucial part of the story and has been foreshadowed in his character. did i cry the first time? yeah, of course. was it one of the better emotional tugs that cinched the franchise as epic? yeah.
