The First Book in a New Series Set 73 Years After The Maze Runner
Seventy-three years after the events of THE DEATH CURE, when Thomas and other immunes were sent to an island to survive the Flare-triggered apocalypse, their descendants have thrived. Sadina, Isaac, and Jackie all learned about the unkind history of the Gladers from The Book of Newt and tall tales from Old Man Frypan, but when a rusty old boat shows up one day with a woman bearing dark news of the mainland—everything changes. The group and their islander friends are forced to embark back to civilization where they find Cranks have evolved into a more violent, intelligent version of themselves. The islanders are hunted by the Godhead, the Remnant Nation, and scientists with secret agendas. When they cross paths with an orphan named Minho from the Remnant Nation, the dangers become real and they don't know who they can trust. The islanders will have to survive long enough to figure out why they are being targeted, who is friend or foe, and what the Godhead has planned for the future of humanity.
“This entry brings new life to the series with its diverse, international cast and expanded universe that explore the implications of the protagonists’ earlier choices. Series fans will not be disappointed by this return to a world where danger lurks around each corner.”

Mediocre
Won’t live up to the original in any regard. Interested to see what happens in the sequels. (Ps. CRAZY ENDING OMG!!)
Meh
Gotta be honest this book wasn’t it. I was excited for a new series extending what happened to the maze runner world but this book kinda felt forced and dragged on. The characters were not special, they had little things as if trying to be the old characters or live up to them and the story was confusing and felt like very forced, the ending made no sense and the “plot twist” was just a dumb quip to bring newt back up. Which is dumb, when a character has a good end and everyone loved them leave them there don’t mess with their story it already ended good. I feel like this book was just written to make people happy there’s new books, it’s like a movie have a second movie and it’s not as good because it wasn’t already written into the story
Eh
It was a good book writing wise, but story wise, Dashner should have just left the series behind. It was fine how it was.
