A review by ellelainey
The Maze Runner Files by James Dashner
2.0
I'm so glad this is the last one! The more "extra" novels in this series, the angrier I get. Kill Order was a needless whirlwind of action scenes. The Fever Code was a walk down Thomas's memory lane that provided very little information that was important or even interest.
Now, this...a repeat of most of those last two books. Every "memo" bar maybe 1 or 2, was repeated from either of those prequels, in exactly the same words, and provided not a single new piece of information. Oh, and there were still inconsistencies amongst them. Such as the transcript of Thomas and Teresa's "1st meeting", except that it wasn't, because we were told in Fever Code that their first meeting was a disaster and had to be wiped from Thomas's memories. Also from the authors, by the looks of it.
By far, the most interesting part of the "book" were the Suppressed Memories, that showed us Minho's 3rd Trial, while Thomas was in the white room, and why he was beaten up when they were reunited, as well as Frypan's procedure to get his memories back. Only, I was really disappointed in Frypan's, because it showed no surprise, no anger, nothing really important. I'd hoped there might be something, some wish that he hadn't remembered, something interesting in his memories, but there was nothing about it that made it necessary.
And then the ENTIRE second half of the book was just an excerpt for a book not even in the series.
Colour me disappointed.
