I didn't like this book as much as the first one. It basically consisted of Thomas being thrown into a different perilous landscape, people dying, and him still confused about everything as he tries to make it to the waypoint. He also keeps being captured by one group, escaping somehow, then being captured by another. That happened over and over until he was recaptured by WICKED at the end. It felt like a lot of filler to get to the last book, and maybe I'll change my mind about that once I'm done with the series, but I guess I don't really understand what the whole point of it was. If the third book is going to be another part of the trials I think it's going to be fairly boring. I'm pretty much over Thomas suffering repeatedly, I hope it ends up being worth it.
