Book four in the blockbuster Maze Runner series that spawned a movie franchise and ushered in a worldwide phenomenon! And don’t miss The Fever Code, the highly-anticipated series conclusion that finally reveals the story of how the maze was built!

   Before WICKED was formed, before the Glade was built, before Thomas entered the Maze, sun flares hit the earth, killing most of the population.
   Mark and Trina were there when it happened. They survived. But now a virus is spreading. A virus that fills humans with murderous rage.
   They’re convinced that there’s a way to save those who are left—if they can stay alive. Because in this new, devastated world, every life has a price. And to some you’re worth more dead than alive.
   The end is only the beginning.

The Maze Runner, Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials, and Maze Runner: The Death Cure are all now major motion pictures featuring the star of MTV's Teen Wolf, Dylan O’Brien; Kaya Scodelario; Aml Ameen; Will Poulter; and Thomas Brodie-Sangster.

Okay so I have never read this series before but I decided to read the prequel and the other books after I was done watching the first movie. And holy fudge this story is really good. I loved how we are able to see what happened to the world after the sun flare killed mostly everyone off and what the world looks like.

Granted we get most of that information from Mark but it’s still pretty good. I know that some people say not to read this book until after I read the other books but I wanted to read it first because I wanted to know what happened before Thomas entered the Glade.

Mr. James Dashner is a really good author and I am quite pleased to finally get to read this series now. I loved all the characters that Mark and Trina knew in the book and was sad to know with what happened to each and every single one of them. **SPOILER*** I know that some people have their ideas that Mark and Trina are Thomas’s parents but I don’t see how that is possible after the second to last chapter before we met little Thomas. Plus I’m not convinced that Deedee could be the young Teresa. I guess noone would really figure it out.

Anyways I am going to give this book five butterflies. Many of you would probably be wondering with why I took so long with this book and why I am giving it five butterflies. The reason it took me so long is because I have had a lot of recent developments happening around me that needed my attention at times but I will still be here. The reason I gave this book a five butterflies is mostly because it held my attention the whole time, when I wasn’t reading it I was wondering with what was going on for Mark and Trina and their friends along with the fact that Mr. James Dashner was captivating me from the first chapter in the book.
