These characters were either the female version of the Gladers (although I swear only two of the thirty-or-so girls actually spoke) or the newly created breed of ‘Cranks’. The whole point of the Scorch was to try and narrow down the amount of people in WICKED’s game, but, unconventionally, new characters were introduced, with a lot more significance than the original Gladers. What did the Scorch look like? Someone draw me a map, and then maybe I’ll be more reasonable. It seems that only Chancellor Paige knows what’s going on, and that anyone further down the hierarchy of command had their own ideas about WICKED and their testing.Īlso, Thomas spent most of his time in the Scorch with Brenda (see below for Brenda opinions) This was fine, but where were the other Gladers?! To split them up so many times was repetitive and darted around the explanation of how they all kept managing to meet up despite separation. If you thought Thomas had a lot of questions in the first book, this was even worse. Is WICKED really good? Why can’t anyone seem to give a solid and correct answer to any question. The whole time I wondered what was going on, and as more repetitive things happened to Thomas, I got more and more disinterested in the real answer. The science behind mapping the cognitive movements of the boys to find a cure was sketchy.Īt the end of ‘The Scorch Trials’ I felt like I’d taken three steps backwards, not a step towards understanding. I knew the bare minimum a deadly disease had been unleashed on the world and they were trying to find a cure. My main reason for continuing with the series was to understand what WICKED’s motives were, and why they’d taken the boys into the Maze in the first place. With ‘The Scorch Trials’, the fate of my reading enjoyment was left solely in the hands of James Dashner. I knew what to expect with ‘The Maze Runner’ and wasn’t that surprised with the changes the movie made. I was a little bit worried to begin this book, because it meant venturing into new, unchartered territory. Series: The Maze Runner (#1) | The Death Cure (#3)
