The Maze Runner: Book 3: The Death Cure

            The Death Cure, by James Dashner, is the anticlimactic ending to the Maze Runner trilogy. With the trials over the Gladers have been offered by WICKED to have their memories restored so they can help create a cure for the flare. Thomas, however, has already remembered more than WICKED thinks and knows enough to not trust WICKED. WICKED says that the time for lies is over, but Thomas is discovering more about WICKED and himself as he tries to bring them down.

            This book is, as stated before, very anticlimactic and is filled to the brink with unnecessary plot devices and deaths. Thomas has to fight his way through Denver as he makes one stupid decision that almost gets him killed after another. He then leaves to make even more stupid decisions and eventually gets his friends killed. This book shows exactly how stupid Thomas really is and that he had dumb luck in the first books. At the end of this book I decided not to read The Kill Order until it was the last book on my shelf. The books in this series are The Maze Runner, The Scorch Trials, The Death Cure, and the prequel is The Kill Order.
