The Scorch Trials: Post 2

So far into the book, a lot has happened. At the ending of the last book the two main characters were taking and Teresa, the main girl, seemed to be in trouble. When this book began, Thomas tries to go find Teresa in her room, only to find that she is gone. In the room now is a boy named Aris. He explains that he was placed into another place, like the Glade, except he was the only boy, surrounded by girls. He seems to know more about the experiments than the others.

Since I'm not that far into the book, not much has changed. I still see that Thomas cares about Teresa and now there is a conflict and they need to find what happened to her. I like the fact that there was sort of, an alternate universe going on the whole time that the reader just now knows about. It was very unexpected and I liked the fact that it was a surprise. I really enjoy authors that are able to come up with new and unexpected twists in books because it keeps them from getting boring. I can't wait to read more and to find out more about what happened in the parallel universe the author has created.

The Scorch Trials: Beginning of Book

I have started to read the second book in The Maze Runner Series, The Scorch Trials. I'm not sure what to expect from this book. I've talked to friends who have read it and some of them had complaints and others said it was really good. I really enjoyed the first book in the series, and I hope the writing is as good as the original book. I usually don't like the rest of a series as much as the original, because it gets boring after a while. I'm really hoping this one doesn't.

I'm really excited to watch the characters develop more. I want to see what the author can do with the characters, that's more than what has been done. If I don't see character development I will be very disappointed with the author. I've heard about what happens in this book in the terms of a couple of the characters' love lives and I'm not sure how it will effect the story, but I don't want it to change the characters too much. Maybe it will help push the story along as some sort of conflict? If it doesn't I feel like it would be pointless in the storyline of the book.
