The Maze Cutter: A Maze Runner Novel

Product Information

This was really disappointing ☹️☹️☹️ I think if it had been just set in a completely separate world from the Maze Runner I would have enjoyed it a lot more, but because it was set in that world I was expecting some of what made me love The Maze Runner.

In my opinion, Dashner should have just made this a new series, entirely separated from the Maze Runner world. I am taking any and all criticisms and accusations very seriously, and I will seek counseling and guidance to address them.James Dashner, of “ The Maze Runner” fame, brings us a new story, the beginning of yet another series, from the same universe.

Poi viene detto più volte che il virus dell'Eruzione è mutato, che non esistono solo gli Spaccati come li conoscevamo, ma ci sono nuove "specie". Bene, peccato che questi nuovi Spaccati si intravedano per poche frasi, in mezza scena, e non venga neanche spiegato esattamente quali siano le loro caratteristiche. On the plus side, however, it's used so often that the reader almost becomes desensitized and learns to ignore it.The writing felt rushed and it felt like the publishers wanted to make money off of the fans of the Maze Runner. It also consists of areas such as the "deadheads" (where the dead Gladers are buried), the animal pens, and a tree grove. Seventy-three years after the events of The Death Cure, when Thomas and other immunes were sent to an island to survive the Flare-triggered apocalypse, their descendants have thrived.

We'll see if this series can hold my interest for the following books, but for now, this was an enjoyable read.

This entry brings new life to the series with its diverse, international cast and expanded universe that explore the implications of the protagonists’ earlier choices.

At this point James Dashner is just utterly desperate to milk the now-expired success of the Maze Runner series for all its worth. A huge part of the appeal of the original series aside from the edge-of-your-seat pacing are the endearing characters and the meaningful character relationships.There were so many POVs, which made it hard to keep track of who was talking, and the whole splitting-chapters-up-into-little-chapters thing just made the problem worse. As a reader, we're kept in the dark literally the entire book, and every time it seemed as if something important would be revealed, the chapter would cut and the scene would jump to another POV. But regardless, this book didn't do a very good job of convincing me that The Maze Cutter series will be able to hold a candle next to The Maze Runner series.
