It was like a love triangle that was trying not to be a love triangle, so it got confusing.ĭespite the clichéd feel, I did rather enjoy the zombie aspect of the book. Granted, I don’t think it was particularly Dashner’s intent to write a romance, but romantic feelings were heavily insinuated at times, so if you’re going to start something like that, you have to see it through and delve deeper or just don’t do a romance at all. It was also difficult to understand Thomas’ struggle between Teresa and Brenda at some points because it was not explored very deeply. I got the impression that Thomas, Minho and Newt were supposed to be the ‘golden trio’ of the series, but their relationships felt weak and, well, underdeveloped. ![]() It is sort of the same issue I’ve had throughout all of the books whereby I felt more character development was needed. However, there were also moments that went by so fast that they felt emotionless and bleak. ![]() There were thrilling moments that made my heart rate pick up and stopped me from putting the book down in gripping, fast-paced action sequences and heart-breaking decisions. ![]() ![]() It’s difficult to put my opinions down in words because, quite frankly, I had mixed feelings throughout the novel. ![]()
