The Scorch Trials by James Dashner
3.0
The Scorch Trials picks up right where the Maze Runner left off. Thomas and the other Gladers are rescued by WICKED, only to find themselves in a room swarming with Cranks infected by The Flare. They manage to escape the facility, but little do they know, it's all part of WICKED's plan, leading them into the second phase of their challenges.
I really enjoyed exploring the post-apocalyptic world in this sequel, though the first book set a high standard. The Cranks added a terrifying twist to the typical zombie scenario in dystopian fiction. The constant suspense and mystery kept me hooked, although I felt Thomas was passing out a bit too often.
Overall, The Scorch Trials is a great follow-up to the Maze Runner. While it's different, the changes work well. The book is full of action, even though the betrayal was a bit predictable.
