Customer Reviews

The joy and nostalgia that this book made me feel is very hard to ignore.

I have finally read this, I preordered this back in 2016 so it is nice to have finished it. This was such a fun nostalgic time for me. When I was just getting in to reading I was Obsessed with The Maze Runner series it was the third ever book series I read, so it has and will hold a special rose tinted spot in my heart, so with that in mind let's get to the review. I loved this, do I think that it was necessary in anyway? no, but it did add some unnecessary (But fun) information to the over all story and (as a huge fan) It was interesting. Was the writing good? no. I didn't know this back when I first read the,, But I have come to realize after reading over 1,000 books Dashner's writing style is very dry, his story are really interesting but his book's can be hard for me to read because the writing is lackluster. Will I read more James Dashner book's? Yes I will and I am actually very excited too, the joy and nostalgia that this book made me feel is very hard to ignore.

Binged Book

#bingedbook #TheFeverCode It's a must for anyone who's read #TheMazeRunner  books, I read #TheKillOrder first, then The Fever Code, and now am currently reading The Maze Runner. The Fever Code gives a lot of background on who Thomas is, how he came to be with WICKED. Highly recommended.
