this whole book got me worried abt newt & minho all the time oml. a very great read, forced me to imagine all the scenarios they were in (which was hard sometimes as a non-english speaker). although i still did luv the world-building on this one! it’s a great sequel to the first book & opened the world into more dangerous paths than they were in before (from being trapped in a box to exploring the outside desolate unknown). still can’t believe how cruel W.I.C.K.E.D. is to a bunch of teenagers & using them as the cure to justify their bloody crimes like how much more do u want them to suffer just to get ur results …. can’t wait to get my hands on the third book <3

Like "The Maze Runner," this story had me hooked from beginning to end. The action starts right away and there's no break until the conclusion. I didn't like some of the twists that this story took, though. Some of the things that happen are so out-there that it seemed like the author was just throwing in every weird idea he could think of for the sake of making the book stand out. The Teresa storyline, especially, didn't make sense to me. However, there's one more book so I'm going to reserve judgment until Dashner has had a chance to explain everything. And I have to admit that all of the craziness makes me anxious for the next book because I want to see how he's going to bring it all together (if he can, that is).

Sentimientos bipolares hacia este libro.
Primero de todo: lento. Pero lento de cojones (perfectamente se podría haber reducido 150 páginas) y a veces hasta aburrido.
Dashner, no tienes por qué repetirme doscientas veces lo seco, cálido y sin vida que era el paisaje cuando van de camino a la ciudad. También, al final, cuando se ponen a luchar con los monstruos, estaba lleno de datos insignificantes y acciones irrelevantes; esas cuatro páginas me las he saltado.
Pero también tengo que admitir que me podía tragar de veinte en veinte las demás páginas. El autor tiene a veces esa forma tan hipnotizante de escribir...
También son un plus los personajes: muy humanos, no como en otras novelas. Yo aun me sigo debatiendo entre perdonar a Teresa o no, ¡y es solamente un personaje ficticio!
Es imposible que no te guste Brenda. No sé, pero al estar "loca" era muy real. Y no dejemos de lado a unos de mis personajes favoritos, Minho. No ha estado muy presente, pero lo poco que decía era potente, jajaja. Espero con ilusión el tercer libro, también que se desarrollen carácteres y podramos descubrir más de ellos.
