Thomas and the other Gladers leave one engineered trial only to find a second waiting, this time across scorched open country rather than inside walls.
James Dashner keeps the chapters short and the information scarce, so a reader learns what the characters learn and very little more. The second Maze Runner book widens the world beyond the enclosure of the first, introducing new groups, new rules and a physical journey that tests the survivors as much as any puzzle did.
Key things to expect:
• Book two in the Maze Runner sequence for young adult readers
• A post-disaster landscape with survival and endurance at its centre
• Fast chapters built around withheld information and shifting alliances
• Continuing questions about who is running the trials and to what end
Written for teenage readers and adults who enjoy dystopian series fiction, available at Boipoka.
