It doesn’t give you time as a reader to catch your breath and too much action gets boring. Now I usually love action and violence in a book because it makes it exciting but this was non-stop. All the way through, it’s pretty much all action and violence. The character development in this book is lacking, we don’t really find out much about the main characters, or their families or backgrounds, other than really basic stuff. I didn’t feel connections to many of the main characters so the ending (not going to spoil anything other than saying it’s sad) didn’t leave me as sad as what happened to Newt in Death Cure and it really should have. I didn’t hate this book, I just didn’t love it either. It’s up to Mark and his friends to find the enemy – and a cure – before the Flare infects them all …
Worse, it’s mutating, and people are going crazy. Thousands die, and the virus is spreading. For Mark and his friends, surviving is difficult, and then an enemy arrives, infecting people with a highly contagious virus. Those who survived live in basic communities in the mountains, hunting for food. When sun flares hit the Earth, intense heat, toxic radiation and flooding followed, wiping out much of the human race.
This book is good when after finishing The Death Cure, you are frustrated and want answers to your still unanswered questions! Here is a short synopsis of the book: It’s meant to be a prequel but I reckon if you’re going to read it, you should read it after The Maze Runner as one of the great things about The Maze Runner is that just like the characters I was always questioning things and not quite knowing what was going on and I enjoyed that, plus it gives spoilers for the main series. It gives the background of the flare (the disease that makes people go mad in the maze runner series), the world after the sun flares hit and also how WICKED came to be. The problem with prequels (or sequels after an original trilogy) is that they are one book only with new characters introduced and you’re not able to get attached to them in the same way that you get attached to characters in a series of books as you don’t follow their journey over time. I was right in some ways, it wasn’t as good as The Maze Runner, and I did miss all my favourite characters from that series. I don’t usually read prequels to series, because they’re never as good as the series itself and they never have any of the characters you loved from the books in them much, if at all so I was a little apprehensive about reading The Kill Order.
