Super Entertaining But Very Violent And Gorey

As I've said in my reviews for the other books in this series, it was very entertaining and hard to put down. However, I won't be giving a high star rating because of how much unnecessary, intense gore and violence there was. Almost approaching a horror in some parts, (it's sort of a zombie apocalypse) so that I ended up skipping entire pages altogether. There is about the same amount of language as the other two books, which is a lot, but the words are very mild (mostly made-up words but also cr*p and h*ll) This series reminds me sooo much of Hunger Games in so many ways, but I'd have to say that I liked this series better. The vibe of both series is very similar but Maze Runner felt more hopeful in the end whereas Hunger Games left me disappointed and depressed. *SPOILER START* I don't feel like so many characters should have died. Even though it was definitely better than Hunger Games where literally everyone you care about dies, I feel like either Teresa or Newt should have lived? Like they didn't both have to die. I REALLY didn't like the scene when Newt dies, it just felt unnecessary and I would have liked there to still be some hope for Newt to return to normal. Also, even though I didn't like Teresa, I feel like her death was sort of brushed over. As far as the romance, I feel like I never really got to know Brenda. Plus, it was weird to me how she was acting when Thomas first met her but it never really cleared that up? On a separate subject, I didn't like how Thomas seemed to lose himself at the end and was just killing brutally without a whole ton of regret or guilt or effect to his character. However, considering his situation it's more understandable. 🤷‍♀️ *SPOILER END* I didn't really get to know the characters as well as I would have liked but I guess that wasn't really a huge part of the story anyway. I liked the hopeful ending, left me feeling satisfied and like the story was fulfilled. I can't think of any loose ends that weren't clarified, it all seems to make sense for the most part. This would have been such a good series if not for the excessive violence and such!

I Hate it so much i love it

I bawled my eyes out through this whole book and I hope you do too. Its endlessly depressing and a beautiful and terrible conclusion to the series. The best books are the ones that leave you wanting more and thus delivered that perfectly. I had a bit of a book hangover for sure! Its an amazing ending and I k ow youll love it!

This was a rough book to get through but definitely worth it.

This book left me in tears and I loved the journey that it took me through and where it left me in the end. Even though I am mad at the author for doing the things he did I still love him for blessing us with this wonderful book.

It made me cry but it's still a very good book.
