The Scorch Trials.
The Scorch Trials, by James Dashner.
Solving the Maze was supposed to be the end. No more puzzles, And no more running. Thomas was sure that escaping meant he would get his life back. But no one knew what sort of life they were going back to...
Burned and baked, the earth is a wasteland, its people driven mad by an infection known as the Flare.
Instead of freedom, Thomas must face another trial. He must cross the Scorch to once again save himself and his friends...
So it was a while ago now that I read this, and I'm absolutely terrible when it comes to making notes on books so I can refer back to them when I write my review, and for that I'm sorry. However, from what I do recall, this book is solely responsible for my trust issues, well that and blueberry muffins. Every single time I began to trust someone, they turned around and destroyed that trust and love I had built up for them! I was never really sure what to think when I was reading this, my mind was constantly ticking, I was constantly trying to figure things out, and every time I thought I had something or someone worked out, I would find out I was way off, completely wrong. But this just added to my list of reasons to carry on reading, I was determined to get something right, unfortunately, I don't think I did, but I still enjoyed the book regardless.
In this book, nothing is ever as it seems, nothing is ever straight forward. There is always some evil twist lurking around the corner, ready to jump out at you and hurt your feels. We both gain and loose characters in this book, sometimes in some very strange and tragic ways. During the Scorch Trials, we meet some absolutely horrific characters in my opinion, people that are plain evil for no good reason, as well as some good, offering to share what ever it is they have with other people, even if they don't have much themselves. We also see many different sides of WICKED in this book, which often left me thinking, could WICKED really be good?
I would definitely recommend this book if you like dystopian novels, this entire series will leave you guessing and wanting more! I should be posting a review of The Death Cure, the third book in this trilogy on Sunday, so keep a look out for that!
