The Death Cure

This series just gets progressively worse. By the end of this book, you realize all of the characters are pretty flat, boring, and interchangeable, so their dying or going through things doesn't really elicit any emotional reaction from you. You realize that the little personality they do have is more to drive the plot than to actually function as characters (cough cough, Thomas refusing to get his memories back, cough cough.) The plot holes are numerous, and WICKED is even more unbelievable. Brenda is about the most boring love interest of all time. And Thomas would rank pretty high in my list of worst MC's ever. There are so many "why" moments in this book in particular, and I think it's because the only way Dashner can continue to keep anyone even a little bit invested is by adding high-octane scenes where everyone almost dies. This book stinks and doesn't have almost anything redeeming.
