In this sequel to The Maze Runner, Thomas and his friends are hoping their trials are over. Unfortunately, this is just the beginning of another round of trials. They must face scorching heat, disease, and even opponents with weapons. Plus, a lot of their actions seem to be predetermined somehow. A lot is revealed about Thomas’s past and the reasons behind the trials, but these answers simply bring up more questions. Will Thomas and his friends survive to find out why they are being forced into such terrible tests? Will they ever know whom they can truly trust in this crazy experiment?
The sequel does not provide as interesting of a backdrop as the maze did, but the twists and turns of the plot will keep fans interested. The characters become more endearing throughout this story also because we know how far they have come and realize they still have a long ways to go to enjoy freedom. Many new characters are introduced and their motives are murky at best, which keeps the characters and the reader guessing. All in all, it is not as enticing as the first one, but will definitely keep young readers interested.
