4.5

A bit less going on in this book than book #1, but we finally get some lore answers! Not all of them, but enough to feel that "happy until the next book" feeling.

My only real complaint about The Scorch Trials is the girls needed better characterization. The few we meet were pretty flat. Just kinda there. Teresa is the most well-rounded female character so far, but even she could use some work.
