Remember all of the semi-likeable characters from the original series? Get rid of them

If you don’t mind either of those two things, then you should give this book a shot, otherwise, I would pass this one up if I were you. We were left with a bajillion more questions, and there was way too much action for me to even remotely enjoy this book.

Overall, I just could not bring myself to enjoy The Kill Order, even though I enjoyed the first two books of the series so much. Sure, action is fantabulous, but there’s a limit to how much you can have in a single book I lost interest in the book, because nothing else was going on besides the action. On every page, there was something going on, and I’m going to be honest… I got bored. But even me, the teenager who loves action, thought that there was just. If you know me, you’ll know that I love action in books. The Kill Order along with having a new set of characters, had a ton of action. Sure, a few of my questions about the world building and all that were answered in this book, but I just ended up with so many more questions about everything in the series and specifically this book that will never be answered now. And because we don’t know anything about this set of characters, we’re left with even more questions. Instead, this book is about some random people that I’m not 100% sure are connected to Thomas or anyone else. You would think that it would be, right? That’s what I was hoping for. I think the thing that bothered me the most about this book was that it was not about Thomas and the rest of the Gladers. The Kill Order just failed to live up to The Maze Runner. So the only reason I picked this book up was in hope that it would redeem the series for me and answer my bajillion questions. See, the thing is, The Maze Runner was one of my favorite series ever… until the last book, which I hated. I can describe this book to you in a single word: disappointment.
