In a dystopian world, Thomas wakes up in the Glade, a walled sanctuary for boys with erased memories. The group faces monsters outside and a mysterious experiment. When the first girl, Teresa, arrives, she triggers a rebellion led by Thomas against the monsters and those controlling their fate, with the unknown outside world presenting additional challenges.
This book really left a mark on me—it's like a thrilling rollercoaster of adventure, mystery, and inspiration all rolled into one. The story is so well-crafted that you feel just as trapped in the maze as the characters. The first half is a wild ride with more twists and turns than you can imagine, leaving you with more questions than answers. However, my only gripe is that the latter half felt a bit rushed, throwing in random bits that didn't quite fit together seamlessly.

Pretend I wrote a lot of words about decent worldbuilding for a book that obviously got specced to publishers as The Next Post-Apocalyptic YA Phenomenon. Because it just reads like one, long prospectus. I dig that you can't do a lot of character development when nobody remembers who they were outside your tiny, poorly functioning maze world. But conflicts do seem to happen with predictable factions taking predictable sides, so maybe go with that?
Or don't. Make it the 120 page short story it clearly started as and just let us enjoy it without the endless repetition of Basic Emotional Vocabulary - Teen Boy Edition and the sentence fragments.
Only four more to go!

La historia me gusto mucho, aunque considero que al principio la historia fue un poco lenta, el final me dejo con ganas de mas.
