The Death Cure

Das Ende hat mich enttäuscht.

It was utterly mediocre from the beginning to the unsatisfying ending. ¿I don't think there is a right or wrong anymore. Only horrible and not-quite-so-horrible.¿For those who have readThe Maze RunnerandThe Scorch Trials, you probably know that there were a lot of questions that needed to be addressed in this novel. The first two books in the series acted as an action-packed snowball that gathered unaddressed plot issues as it rolled down the hill of total exhilaration. To me, this third book was supposed to be when the snowball finally hit a huge brick wall, sending all of its fluff flying and revealing its true core. But it didn't exactly live up to that expectation - everything felt too nice and neat, sort of like if the snowball simply melted instead of erupting like a volcano.As many people have noted,the Maze Runnertrilogy is a bit... mysterious. Throughout the first two books, a lot of stuff happens with little to no explanation. I knew going intoThe Death Curethat the only way I would like this book was if it finally gave me the answers I was looking for. Well, it didn't...This book, felt like stalling. Honestly, minus some action scenes and the main story line parts which where poor to the point of nonexistent, there wasn't anything of much importance. This book could have honestly been 50 pages long it wouldn't have made a difference.It was utterly mediocre from the beginning to the unsatisfying ending. This series started off so good with the first book being amazing, but then the books kept deteriorating.So overall, I feel like this series didn't have a good enough explanation of events to merit reading through all the demoralizing experiences. This said, it was still a well-written series in that the story was compelling and some of the minor characters were depicted well.I'm still excited for the movie, though.
