Title: The Scorch Trials Author: James Dashner Series: The Maze Runner (book 2) Publisher: Chicken House Ltd Release Date: 5 Jun. 2014 ISBN: 9781909489417 Synopsis Solving the Maze was supposed to be the end. No more puzzles. And no more running. Thomas was sure that escaping meant he would get his life back. But no one knew what sort of a life they were going back to... Burned and baked, the earth is a wasteland, its people driven mad by an infection known as the Flare. Instead of freedom, Thomas must face another trial. He must cross the Scorch to once again save himself and his friends. My Review I enjoyed Maze Runner overall but had a few reservations, but I was intrigued to find out more so started to read Scorch Trials. The Gladers are out of the maze, but it's not the comforting end they hoped for, instead the experiments continue, but on a much larger and more dangerous scale.

I LOVED the book Legend, so I couldn't wait to read the second book in this trilogy starring Day and June. Ever have one of those times where you want to read a book/see a movie/watch a TV show but are scared because you think it might not be as good as you are hoping for? Unfortunately, that is what happened with me...
WARNING- Ahead there be spoilers concerning Legend.
Prodigy picks up right where Legend left off. Day and June are on the run from the Republic. They eventually need to ask the Patriots for help because Day is hurt and can't continue on without assistance. The Patriots require some services from Day and June in payment for helping them and healing Day. A plot is hatched to assassinate the newly appointed Elector, and Day and June both have to help out. But, as time goes by, June starts to realize that she and Day might have been set up for more than they bargained for.
The first half of this book was slow, so seriously slow. I felt like I'd lost part of the characters that I'd really enjoyed, and it read like the story was just going through the motions. I almost gave up. The end did start to get me more involved again, and the ending did pull at my heart strings. I will probably read the last book, if only to find out what happens to these characters.
