Following the events in The Maze Runner book 1, Thomas finds himself in the formerly called Mexico, presently called "The Scorch".
It has been revealed that a series of sun flares have scorched the Earth and a following sickness called "The Flare" spreads through the world.
The surviving gladers are tasked with one challenge: Travel 100 miles north and survive.
James Dashner has outdone himself and exceeded my expectations. The relationship between Thomas and Teresa is very... interesting.
I find myself intrigued in this dystopia world, where the infected are becoming mindless zombies and where a huge area has turned into a wasteland.
The WICKED organisation is very well described, yet the author doesn't reveal too many secrets and keeps the reader's attention and interest.
For anyone interested in a post apocalyptic dystopia novel, with some crazy romance, I definitely recommend this book.
