I am very disappointed with James Dashner. This was a horrible book. Plot wise, he had a great idea. The Maze Runner is an amazing book. But he failed in his mission. This book is nothing but trash for the heap. The characters have no development, and therefore major plot points have no affect on the reader because the characters are unlovable and cannot be related to. Newt dying was literally the worst. Because there was no point. And Thomas didn't even grow from that. He stayed the exact same. Thomas, THE MAIN CHARACTER, has literally no character development through books 1-3. I can somewhat understand in book 1, but in books 2 and 3 not to help him realize his flaws at all?? There is no hero in this book. No one really wins. They are all people lacking morals. I would not recommend this book to anyone.
