A review by malachikana
Crank Palace by James Dashner

4.0

It felt as though dashner finally understood his audience was a few years older on this one since the first maze runner. Some light swearing, a bleak storyline, and a deviation from the main character make this one of the more compelling books from the series.
Newt is one of the characters I feel like we all cared about the most, especially since finding out about his biological makeup in regards to the disease. His end felt rather jarring in the series, but luckily dashner explores what happens to poor newt during his descent into madness.
It is one of the strongest books in the series, and I highly recommend if you are a fan.
