WICKED has taken everything from Thomas: his life, his memories, and now his only friends—the Gladers. But it’s finally over. The trials are complete, after one final test.

What WICKED doesn’t know is that Thomas remembers far more than they think. And it’s enough to prove that he can’t believe a word of what they say.

Thomas beat the Maze. He survived the Scorch. He’ll risk anything to save his friends. But the truth might be what ends it all.

The time for lies is over.


My Review* 

This book was definitely better than the previous in the series, The Scorch Trials, in which all they seemed to do was walk. In The Death Cure, the kids were on the defense towards Wicked and were tying to end the testing that was going on. The were fighting to remember what is real, what is not and also to get free.
Even though I enjoyed this book better than The Scorch Trials, I didn't like the ending. Is it possible for a group of kids to overtake a group of adult scientists to save the world?

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.
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.
There are others now. Their survival depends on the Gladers’ destruction—and they’re determined to survive.
Friendships will be tested. Loyalties will be broken. All bets are off.


My Review* 

I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first in the series, The Maze Runner (you can read that review here). The entire book seemed to be about everyone walking thru a desert. Honestly, it reminded me of Lord of the Rings with all the walking. The characters still don't seem to have much personality.

I feel like I can't really write much more of a review as there wasn't anything going on in the book.

Nice to meet ya, shank. Welcome to the Glade.

Outside the towering stone walls that surround the Glade is a limitless, ever-changing maze. It’s the only way out—and no one’s ever made it through alive.

Everything is going to change.

Then a girl arrives. The first girl ever. And the message she delivers is terrifying.

Remember. Survive. Run.


*My Review* 
This book is compared to the Divergent Series. I would say it is the children's version if anything.

Thomas arrives in the "Glade" which is basically a small area in the middle of a maze. For years the boys who currently reside there have been working on trying to find a way out of the maze with no luck. Everyone who lives in the Glade fills a jobs so that everything runs smoothly - farmers, butchers, a cook etc. However, once Theresa arrives, nothing goes smoothly anymore.

Overall, I thought the book was good considering the 12-17 year age range it is intended for. It is extremely slow paced and actually a bit frustrating as you are just waiting for something to finally  happen and when it does, the book is over. The characters also seems to be boring. No one really stands out, even the the main character. I am hoping that the next in the series, The Scorch Trials, has more excitement.
