Es war sooooo traurig😭😭 Newt und Teresa meine Pookies haben das nicht verdient💔aber das Buch war trotzdem richtig gut, ich hab es an einem Tag durchgelesen💋💋Bin gerade so traurig weil es jetzt zu Ende ist.

The Death Cure is quite different from the first two books and at times feels more like horror than classic YA. What frustrated me the most was the constant feeling that everything was part of WCKD’s plan. No matter what the group tried to do to free themselves or fight back, it always comes down to “that was planned.” Rebellion? Planned. Escape? Planned. Emotional reactions? Also planned. At some point it feels like the characters never really had a choice, because even hope or alternative solutions are just more variables in the experiment. Some developments, especially regarding Newt, were just as heavy as in the movie and hit me emotionally quite hard. At the same time, I liked Brenda much more here than in the film adaptations. She has more room to develop, although towards the end I did briefly wonder whether she was actually working one hundred percent for WCKD or at least suspected that the alternative plan was theirs as well. Uncomfortable, dark, and psychologically much more intense than expected, even if the “everything was planned” motif did start to annoy me at times.

My newtie.. he didn’t deserve to die. Loved it also more then the books had little trouble understanding where they were or what exactly has happened. Miss my newt and cried where Thomas shot him…

2.5⭐️ One of the few times where I prefer the movies… Notes: - I wasn’t the biggest Maze Runner fan to begin with, only read the books cause I enjoyed the movies - I say it again: Thomas isn’t the most interesting main character/chosen one for me - the chapters are so short that it’s hard to get into a flow - Minho is still my favourite, like Brenda a lot too - just couldn’t get my full attention despite the emotional moments Quotes: - „Minho looked at Thomas, a serious expression on his face. ‚If I don't see you on the other side,‘ he said in a sappy voice, ‚remember that I love you.‘“ - „‚KILL ME!‘ And then Newt's eyes cleared, as if he'd gained one last trembling gasp of sanity, and his voice softened. ‚Please, Tommy. Please.‘ With his heart falling into a black abyss, Thomas pulled the trigger.“

FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYY Took me long enough :') While the ending left me kinda depressed, it also felt soo rushed. One second there's action, next it's relatively quiet and suddenly I'm reading the epilogue. I still have a lot of questions which haven't been answered, intentionally probably, BUT THAT DOESN'T SATIATE MY CURIOSITY. All in all it felt like a pretty big downgrade compared to the first book, especially in terms of tension.
