So far, I've personally liked The Maze Runner better than Divergent, but not quite as well as The Hunger Games, despite me giving it all five-stars just like The Hunger Games. With the series falling into the YA Post-apocalyptic, Dystopian, Science Fiction genre, the comparisons to the Divergent and Hunger Games series are inevitable. It's been quite the ride that I've very much enjoyed. I'm not sure if James Dashner originally conceived of the series as a trilogy and later added the chronological prequels or if he planned to do it this way all along, but The Death Cure stamps 'The End' to the main part of the Maze Runner story. The Death Cure is the action-packed conclusion to the original Maze Runner trilogy. But is he really free or is it all part of WICKED's ultimate plan? Racing against time, he must unravel the truth of what's going on and face one last showdown with his nemesis. After finally reuniting with some of his friends, Thomas attempts a daring escape. And his memories, combined with the fact that WICKED has taken everything from him, tells him that they can't be trusted one bit.

But what they don't know is that Thomas remembers more than he's told them. Once he does, they've promised him it will finally be the end for real. To combat the Flare, WICKED is asking him to complete one last trial. Now the reality of what's really going on in the world is revealed and it's more terrifying than anything he's faced yet. Thomas made it through the Maze and the Scorch and thought that was the end of WICKED's grueling trials.
