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

This is personally, my least favorite out of the main series, but definitely worth while. I heard if you watch the movies before you read the books it’s more challenging to get through. I didn’t watch the movies before the books, and I absolutely loved it! Would recommend.

There is gore. If you don’t like to read those kind of topics I’d not recommend.

The plot thickens, there’s are so many questions and some get answered but it’s still very mysterious. I am invested in the characters now and I really hope

Thomas and Teresa sort stuff out

A bit less going on in this book than book #1, but we finally get some lore answers! Not all of them, but enough to feel that "happy until the next book" feeling.

My only real complaint about The Scorch Trials is the girls needed better characterization. The few we meet were pretty flat. Just kinda there. Teresa is the most well-rounded female character so far, but even she could use some work.

I really enjoyed reading this book, I actually preferred it to the first book in the series. The plot was super interesting and unpredictable, so I got invested easily.

Emotional rollercoaster, tense, manipulative qualities in characters and the book itself, makes you rethink everything you once knew about the first book, gives major trust issues, ending of the book is hard to read
