The Death Cure (Maze Runner, Book 3)

„And with his heart sinking into a black abyss… Thomas pulled the trigger“

3,5/5 ☆ This book was kinda boring. But I'm sad that this trilogy is finished :(

3.5. I'm so sad right now because I have finally finished this trilogy and there is nothing to add to this story. Even if I didn't like everything about this finale, I really enjoyed my experience with the series. I think it's one of the best ya book series so far, it's so underrated.

Ich mochte die Reihe wirklich gerne. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Dystopien war der Schreibstil sehr leicht und flüssig zu lesen. Besonders das James Dashner nicht davor zurückgeschreckt hat wichtige Charaktere zu töten fand ich gut, obwohl am Ende zwar viel an Erklärung fehlte und es zu offen blieb. Ein weiterer Kritikpunkt ist aber das ich nie eine richtige Beziehung zu den Charakteren aufgebauen konnte und sie relativ flach wirkten.

Que increíbles libros la neta no se si en realidad están buenos o solamente es como la nostalgia de todo. En realidad yo solo leí los primeros tres (la precuela y la secuela no) pero ps wow de verdad una gran experiencia haber vuelto a leer esta saga, no me arrepiento de nada ***al fin nos deshicimos de Teresa chicos lo logramos***

Conflicted on the ending, especially considering the current real-life pandemic, but otherwise still as captivating as the first two installments of the series. I much enjoyed the continued portrayal of the relationships as well as the developments and the emotional journeys the characters went on.

i don’t know why but the beginning didn’t catch me really but after a while it got better and better. my heart is broken (maybe i cried ok) but i‘m also happy but mostly just heartbroken. i love that branda and jorge were more important in the book, love both of them! have to say don’t really remember the third movie but i think the book was way better and the story made so much more sense and was way more complex i really liked that. but… i loved the letter from newt in the movies it was heart wrenching and i kinda missed it in the book (the ending and the epilogue was still good tho)

Not sure what to think of this. It was a good end to the story, explained all the major questions and so on. But I guess I'm just not a fan of Dashners writing. Thomas is still super annoying with his perfect hunches. I would've enjoyed him being wrong even once. But this also had a few good parts, I think it was an improvement from the second book in that regard. And I kind of liked that at the end they still sort of did what WICKED wanted. I liked that they were being kept in the dark about it and Jorge and Brenda did a perfect undercover job themselves. In the end, I'm having issues with this trilogy and generally the way the story was told. But I can't quite express them. I was just annoyed while at the same time I wanted to find out what was going on. I don't know what to make of this book series. I guess maybe this is one of those YA books that I'm too old for to fully enjoy.

The first book was AMAZING but this one? I was hoping for a cure, for the answers to so many questions, for some romance. But … I was disappointed. The ending was completely different from what I have imagined. Since Dashner is publishing a new book about the aftermath, I hope that one will serve instead.

The book gets 4 stars because it was exciting but compared to The Scorch Trials I feel like something was missing. The characters were good as always, Thomas didn't fell asleep or got kicked in the head that often - so this is a huge plus as well. I loved how the end scenes just rounded up the series, going back and all. It has been a nice series and I'm glad I got to read them books (before the movie The Maze Runner came out). :)
