The First Book in a New Series Set 73 Years After The Maze Runner

Seventy-three years after the events of THE DEATH CURE, when Thomas and other immunes were sent to an island to survive the Flare-triggered apocalypse, their descendants have thrived. Sadina, Isaac, and Jackie all learned about the unkind history of the Gladers from The Book of Newt and tall tales from Old Man Frypan, but when a rusty old boat shows up one day with a woman bearing dark news of the mainland—everything changes. The group and their islander friends are forced to embark back to civilization where they find Cranks have evolved into a more violent, intelligent version of themselves. They are hunted by the Godhead, the Remnant Nation, and scientists with secret agendas. When they cross paths with an orphan named Minho from the Remnant Nation, the dangers become real and they don't know who they can trust. The islanders will have to survive long enough to figure out why they are being targeted, who is friend or foe, and what the Godhead has planned for the future of humanity.

So much potential…

Love the series, but this goes a whole new direction and I’m excited to see it’s trajectory. The only issue is that I feel like the whole book was a really drawn out opening scene where characters get introduced and right when you get to finally know most of them, it ends. It just takes a while because there are so many. Will I keep reading the series? Absolutely! The brilliance of story telling is still as rich as it has always been and it’s also awesome to see a continued story in the same “universe”.

There is potential I guess

I listened to the book, but honestly it was hard to finish. James dashner is one of my favorite authors but I did not particularly enjoy this book. It seems like he is experimenting with a new writing style and it is just not working out. There was so much back and forth that honestly i was completely lost until the very end. Of course I am going to listen to all the new books in this series when they come out, and I hope it ties together the loose ends and fixes what is wrong with this book. I may have to listen a second time to really understand before listening to the second book when it comes out. I think he did a good job, just did it the wrong way

Great next trilogy

Different story, but had the same vibes as the original. Looking forward to the rest! Great work with story and narration

okay

didn't have the original feel, I think as a stand alone story it's great, but it's probably not going to get a reread

good

I like the book, a good series as well. I do recommend it to others.
