Running toward this book is like...Give me.

This book was definitely the missing piece in this series, but I was left with more questions after reading this then going in. This book lacked the tension and twists the previous books had and it had some boring and weird chapters. It wasn’t renewing enough for a book that was supposed to have all the answered. I’m really disappointed. The three stars are for Thomas and the other Gladers, the prologue, for the amazing writing style James has and for the few answers I did get. The Kill Order: 5...

"And now he needed to say something smart, something profound, something that would bind them together and start the terrible journey.""This sucks" I thoroughly enjoyed this Maze Runner prequel! We get insight into Thomas and Teresa's lives as they grow up within WICKED and all the brain washing that comes with it . We get to meet all the characters from the original trilogy - all before they enter the maze.It was really interesting to view things from this perspective, to watch the build up to

First Read: September 2017, Rating: 4 StarsSecond Read: October 2018, Rating: 4 StarsFor an ardent dystopian fan such as myself, ‘The Maze Runner’ series is the gift that keeps on giving. Not only are there three books in the original trilogy, but two full-length prequel novels.This takes place directly before the events that occur in The Maze Runner, yet should be read last, as per Dashner’s specific instructions. The book chronicles the conception of the WICKED organisation, as well as how Tho...

WICKED was never going to stop. They were never never going to stop i feel like this book was the missing piece in this story but it still left me with so many questions that i need answered. I've been waiting for another prequel like this that answered my questions from the trilogy and i wasn't disappointed of course. I loved the multiple POV's in the book from all of my favourite characters especially Minho and Chuck and i was happy to also see all the other characters from the trilogy come b

When I started this and found out it was going to be about Thomas and Teresa I was really nervous. I loved The Maze Runner, I thought The Scorch Trials was quite good, but I was so disappointed by The Death Cure ....This was such a turn around from the last book and I am so happy to say it exceeded all my expectations! I enjoyed watching Thomas and Teresa grow up and develop in WICKED headquarters. You can see their character development so much better! As a result, I still hate Teresa!! Ugh she...

Why, why, whyyyyyy do I keep torturing myself with these novels? Deeeeeeep Breaths This book added nothing of value to the entire series. Why? Cause we're able to piece together the entire plot from blatantly obvious foreshadowing (or would that be back-shadowing?) from the original trilogy. Secret Government Agency to get rid of virus? Yup, figured that one out in the first book. Maze is designed by children? Hinted at and later confirmed in book 2. And on....and on.........and on...........

Well that was heart wrenching. Seeing my babies as babies basically killed me. ALSO, that ending changes EVERYTHING. I'm pretty sure I just stared at the book dumbfounded for a few minutes. Oh, and another thing. Chuck is my favorite. (Don't tell Brenda, she's my second favorite)

The one person that instantly came to my mind when I saw this book was Newt.Imagine this: Multiple POVs. Newt's desperate thoughts. Physical pain + psychological pain. (and double it all because he's my favorite)And me:

Um. I sat here forever trying to figure out what I want the stars to be. I will just go with the three star rating. I LOVED reading about the group again and reading about how some of them were taken and their ages. Those WICKED people really are evil. I'm guessing they picked the right name. I just can't believe the kids lived all of their years there and just ugh. And that creepy guy coming down the hall, "Save Me, Save me" Well, I don't remember if that's exactly what he said but along those

OH MY GOD JAMES YOU'RE THE BEST

I cannot tell you just how much I needed this book. I loved it so friking much! I was left feeling all emotional after reading The Death Cure, this just brightened me all up. It was so cute that Newt, Minho, Thomas, Teresa, Chuck and Alby were friends before they got sent into the maze.I'm actually mad at myself for finishing it in a day. This is one of those books that should be read slowly but I just could not help myself.

wow... that was definitely worth it. I was afraid it was going to be too short...I was afraid it was going to be repetitive..well it was everything but! I sincerely hope there will be another chapter!

It really saddens me that the only book worth my time after the first one was the fifth entry in the series. As prequel to The Maze Runner, it gives a great insight of how the maze was built and some of the motivations the main characters follow.

”I’m coming for you, Newt,” Thomas whispered, so softly that no one could possibly hear him.trigger warning: (attempted) suicideIsn’t it utterly gutwrenching yet all the same oh so tragically poetic (but cruel) when you realise that Thomas was willing to go into the maze instead of helping WICKED find a cure because he couldn’t bear to watch Newt suffer and struggle with depression any longer……and that Thomas wanted so desperately to save his friend from that anguish by freeing him and giving hi...

"Someday we'll be bigger."This book was WAY better than I expected. I really liked getting to see all of them when they were little and growing up with them. The beginning times of the experiment sure was interesting! I loved getting to see the early days of WICKED and understanding more of the organization. One things for sure tho: WICKED is not good. Definitely should read the other books before this one as it does have some spoilers. Unpopular opinion, but I kinda wish Thomas had gotten his m...

"They march on through the dustBelieve their leader, they can trustIn all the noise they lose the way...-Kongos Well. This is it. The Maze Runner prequel we've all been waiting for.I should warn you, though...it wouldn't be a Dashner book without a few moments that make you go all...The original trilogy, those helped define the end of my time in high school and the start of my community college years (Death Cure having come out about a month after I started there.) Then came The Kill Order, whic...

4.8/5 "Our plan is for this to be the command center for what we're calling the Maze Trials, as advance a facility as any research institution has ever had." SO MUCH IS EXPLAINED!I LOVED this book, finally the old group is back and this is where and when everything started.We meet our characters in here since their very beginning and very first interactions with WICKED.It was so informative, we discover everything that is related to the main purpose of why these mazes were created and we go tr...

The only thing I want... NEWT
