But one of the biggest issues are the characters: especially Thomas, who despite his bravery doesn’t seem like a smart guy he only “solves” the whole thing by relying on past memories. The pace was fine, Dashner knows how to keep my attention with action.

The technology, the creatures, the absurdity of the situation was like a video game as we follow Thomas on his journey to solving it. Just like Thomas, the protagonist, we are thrown into the Glade being just as (if not more) confused as him. The Maze Runner thrives on the suspense and the fantastical setting. And more surprising yet is the message she delivers. Only the next day, a girl is sent up-the first girl to ever arrive in the Glade. And that every 30 days a new boy is delivered in the lift. All they know is that every morning the stone doors to the maze that surrounds them, open. Just like Thomas, the Gladers don’t know why or how they got to the Glade. When the lift’s doors open, Thomas finds himself surrounded by kids who welcome him to the Glade-a large, open expanse enclosed by stone walls. And don't miss his The 13th Reality series either!
