Thomas was sure that escape from the Maze would mean freedom for him and the Gladers. But WICKED isn’t done yet. Phase Two has just begun. The Scorch.
There are no rules. There is no help. You either make it or you die.
The Gladers have two weeks to cross through the Scorch—the most burned-out section of the world. And WICKED has made sure to adjust the variables and stack the odds against them.
Friendships will be tested. Loyalties will be broken. All bets are off.
There are others now. Their survival depends on the Gladers’ destruction—and they’re determined to survive.
It took me and my son a long time to finish this book because we didn't have a lot of drive time over the past few months but we both agreed that we liked the sequel better than the first book - and we liked the first one. We'll continue on with the third.
This book is better than the previous one, which I didn't think it was possible but somehow Dashner managed to do it. The characters developed a lot, mainly Thomas, who is really affected for Chuck's death and how everything is ruining his own mind. Nothing is as it seems, nothing is as expected and everything is a real mess. A flawless mess, where every single outcome is already thought.
I can't believe how it ended. How much can a person like Thomas suffer and how much will it be worth it?
