Thomas was sure that escape from the Maze would mean freedom for him and the Gladers. But WICKED isn’t done yet. Phase Two has just begun. The Scorch. The Gladers have two weeks to cross through the Scorch—the most burned-out section of the world. And WICKED has made sure to adjust the variables and stack the odds against them. There are others now. Their survival depends on the Gladers’ destruction—and they’re determined to survive.
Friendships will be tested. Loyalties will be broken.
All bets are off.
It took me and my son a long time to finish this book because we didn't have a lot of drive time over the past few months but we both agreed that we liked the sequel better than the first book - and we liked the first one. We'll continue on with the third.
I was maybe 10% into this book, and was having a conversation with a teenager about this series and my problems with it, when I had a realization: I don't trust the author.
When an author's setting up a big reveal, there need to be enough clues about what's happening to keep the reader from giving up before the reveal is shown. We the readers need to twist that the author knows what they're doing, that the payoff's gonna be worth the trouble. And that's where this whole series fails. There's no sense of, well, of sense. Dashner keeps saying, "Trust me, I know what I'm doing. Just trust me, trust me. It'll all make sense." But two books in, and it's all still "Trust me! You don't understand, but you will!" The cards are too close to your chest, Dashner. I'm not willing to suspend disbelief this long.
Beaucoup plus intéressant et psychologique que le premier, l'intrigue est vraiment bien ficelée et pose beaucoup de questions. Ça donne juste envie de dévorer le dernier tome de la trilogie :)
