The Scorch Trials

After finishing The Maze Runner I moved on to its sequel The Scorch Trials it starts out with the boys from the first book being separated from the girl (I do mean only one). Later during the middle of the night there's a bunch of screaming and people at the windows of the boy's bedroom scream things like "kill me, I’m a bloody crank". After some investigation the boys find out that there was another maze with another group that consisted of one boy and the rest were girls. What happened with Group B (the all girls group) was identical to what happened with Group A except that Thomas was supposed to be killed by Gally, but at the end of the first book Chuck jumped in the way and was killed instead. All of the boys then find out that there is more to do after the maze if they want to stop the flare, a dangerous disease caused by solar flares reaching earth. And thus the scorch trials begin. Kind-of connecting to the first book I want to say that I was really upset when Chuck was killed because James Dashner's writing made me feel a close bond to Chuck and when he was killed I was devastated, you could even say that I died a little. James Dashner's writing really has had me sitting on the edge of my seat wanting to find out what happens next. I have been really tempted to look-up spoilers, but I’ve resisted. I really love his writing. I would recommend this series to anyone who has just finished the Hunger Games trilogy. To end this post i would just like to say that this is a really good series and James Dashner is a really good author.
