This book is in Newt’s pov. It is set in the middle of the third book. I like Newt more than Thomas
empressmolly's review against another edition
2.0
My advice to anyone who wants to read it: read it for the nostalgia, not the quality. That said, the last two chapters and the epilogue are great and made me remember why I was so invested in the series as a kid. I just wish it was written better, as Dashner relied a lot on telling over showing, which is a poor move when trying to describe a descent into madness.
Spoiler
May not be a spolier, but I want to be safe. The signs of Newt's growing "insanity" have brief mentions in the first half, but only at halfway through is there any sort of progress on this front, annd it feels extremely abrupt. In short, him becoming a Crank is not paced well.lozzypop1998's review

Such a nice little additional story to the character of Newt in the series.
I haven’t read the maze runner books in years but got this book when it came out and since reading this book I felt like I wanted a re-read of the original trilogy! This shows more of Newt’s character and his battles within himself as he has the flare and how he sees others with it. This shows Newt selflessly putting himself aside in order to help others and it has me loving him all over again
I felt like this could have been longer however, it was a heartfelt novella that captured the escene of his character
