Wow! That was one emotional rollercoaster full of lies, truths, betrayals, and growth.
I loved the expansion of Brenda's character. She was so much more complex here than in the movies, like a lot of the characters are, and like some of the others, like Ava, she was much more interesting, and her storyline had more depth. Both women had a huge impact on the plot.
There were a lot of questions finally answered, like what was The Flare, where did it come from, why, and how badly was the world hit by it. I loved how it all came together in little pieces, giving us a hint every now and then as to how bad it really had become.
I loved the idea of the Cranks having communities, taking up with each other in groups and supporting each other against Munies and the regular people. The idea of having Immune guards was so clever!
Vince was an interesting character, his plans and motives much more logical and clever than his counterpart from the movie. Just as the entire explanation over Gally's reappearance. Everything just made so much more sense in the books.
And that shock of an ending! That final WICKED memo was a total killer!
Excellently done.

With his heart falling into a black abyss, Thomas pulled the trigger.

German and english review

 

Ich habe nicht wirklich viel positives über den letzten Teil der Reihe zu berichten, um ganz ehrlich zu sein. Es ist schon eine Weile her, dass ich den zweiten Teil gelesen habe, trotzdem hatte ich keine Probleme wieder in die Geschichte zurück zufinden. Der Schreibstil an sich, war wunderbar einfach und  gerade die kurzen Kapitel, haben es leicht gemacht durch das Buch zu kommen.

 

Doch das war es eigentlich auch schon. Ich mag wirklich nicht, wie die ganze Sache abgeschlossen wurde. Ich finde nicht, dass wirklich zufriedenstellend war. Die Charaktere, ich weiß nicht, ich war einfach nur genervt und wollte es so schnell wie möglich hinter mich bringen, damit ich nichts mehr über die Charaktere lesen muss. Waren die schon immer so nervig? Ist mir das nur in dem Teil besonders aufgefallen?

 

Es gab wirklich viel Spannung in dem Buch und auch sehr viel Action, doch die Antworten und die Lösungen, die uns gegeben wurden, waren einfach viel zu wenig. Ich hatte wirklich mehr erwartet.

To be completely honest, I don't really have many positive things to say about the last book in the trilogy. It's been a while since I read the second book but I didn't have any problems getting back into the story. The writing was really good and especially the short chapters made it easy to get through this book pretty fast.

 

But that's about it, really. I I don't really like how the story ended. I don't think that it was satisfying in any way. The characters, I don't know, I was just annoyed and wanted to get through this book fast, so I didn't have to read them anymore. Where they always like that? Did I just notice it more this time around?

 

There was lots of action and stuff like that going on, but the answers and the resolution to things, just weren't enough. I expected something different and way more than what they gave us.

If you enjoyed first two books then you will like this one. I feel like you will have to read it since the second book ends without any answers at all. In fact, I feel like this book was unnecessarily split for no reason, it could've easily been a part of the Scorch Trials and it would all flow better. That said, first part of the book was kind of slow and I saw it as a filler but last third of the book is worth it.

What Just Happened? Is that really the end to this fantastic, action packed, amazing series? Did this book really just disappoint me? How is this Possible?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I CAN THIS ACTUALLY BE HAPPENING?

EVERYTHING WRONG WITH THE DEATH CURE:
EVERYTHING.

Okay, let me explain. Dashner had no idea where the story was going and neither did I. The book lacked everything I expected. It was the worst finale to a series ever.

EVERYTHING WRONG WITH THE DEATH CURE:

There is no death cure? In the end the immunes begin a new life in a new world. Why couldn't they have done that in the first place?

Thomas was actually really annoying. In the first two books, he wanted his memory back so badly and then when he finally got the chance he turned it down?

What about Chuck? He was so selfish in this book. He just didn't want to be mistreated. He was only thinking about himself and not his friend Chuck and what he would've wanted????Also, what about the human race? Ever thought about anyone but you?

Also 300 people killed? It's a bit much. There were only 500???? You could have let more survive??

Paige Chancellor was introduced form no-where and was suddenly this great person who saved Thomas form getting his brain removed?

Also, if you really wanted Thomas's brain why ask. You never were nice to him anyway so why give him a choice. Just stab him with a needle. No biggie, considering you put him through torture?

You could've come to terms with WICKED. Maybe if the 'Right Arm' hadn't blown the place down, they would've found a blueprint??

Thomas could've have maybe got his memory back?

Why did Teresa have to die? Was that necessary?

The ending was a bit rushed, to be honest.

The previous two book were great and this book didn't do the series justice.

EVERYTHING OKAY WITH DEATH CURE.

Newt dies. Dashner made a hard to decision for Thomas and I think this was inserted into the story really well.

SO THE BOOK WAS FAIL. At lest we will receive some answers for ' The Fever Code'. I hope the book will maybe make up for how rubbish Death Cure was.
