The Scorch Trials

The Scorch Trials is the second book in the maze runner series and it holds its place, as a filler novel. I choose the book because I read The Maze Runner and I wanted to continue reading the series. To give a brief description of the book, everyone is infected with a virus and they must make it to a safe house where along the way Teresa betrays the main character Thomas, that’s where the book concludes. It just stops, with not that much context other than Thomas will fight WICKED in the next book. This left me kinda sad with how James Dashner ended the book, let alone the entire plot of the second book. This book kinda teaches the aspect of teamwork and achieving your goals with other people. I view people now as coaches who can help me in life. I view the world now as a place that anything could happen. I think the book did a very good job with creating a wasteland setting and good believable characters. On the other hand, The book had a bad plot line and overall felt like a filler book than anything. I would give this book 4/10 stars for these reasons and would not recommend it to anyone.
