The Kill Order (Maze Runner, Book Four; Origin): Book Four; Origin

A great book tbh loved it.

I got it for my daughter as she had read the original three in the series and lovedthem. Same with this one, she keeps wishing the day had more hours so she'dhad more time to go on reading it.

The other books in the series are okay but this book was the one i actually liked. Since it was in another pov and took place before maze trials, I got to see more indept of how the flare affected the entire world. I especially liked Mark and Alec, the hopelessness that they will lose themselves to the virus but their last mission/wish being to get Deedee to WICKED in hopes of better future. In the first three books, i was constantly annoyed because of Teresa, Thomas and his romance with her or Brenda. But I liked the relationship between Mark and Trina, this book also made me sympathize with Teresa. She was shot, abandoned, saved, kidnapped, and saved again. She saw deaths, cranks and the desperation of her saviors. She was so young but so brave. The actions she took were not great but there was a reason. Tbh, I was always stuck in my opinion of maze trials. As an outsider, I didn't agree with Thomas but I know I may not feel the same if I was actually in that situation. In the end, the cure was just one step away. Not like i wanted to see Thomas dead, however, I couldn't help but feel that all the years of planning, all the resources and all the deaths were all useless.

Ótimo!!!!

Just like everyone, I will admit it took me a while to become interested in this book. It starts with a completely different plot than the previous maze runner books. But after about 1/3 of the way I realized how interesting the story was becoming. The author, James Dashner, is an amazing author in which when he writes stories you never know what's going to happen. Sometimes its because he doesnt let out enough information or background to understand the book which is what I was having trouble with in the beginning, given it is a completely new set of characters in a time before the Glade. But many authors will usually write a plot and the events will lay out in a way you are expecting them to, then when it gets to the climax they go the opposite way you thought they would, yet at the same time you were sort of expecting it. Although books written like this can be very interesting, you kind of already know the layout of it. James Dashner, however, writes in a way where events will go in directions you wouldn't even think of. Instead of going how you expect it should, something you could never even think of occurs which really keeps you on your toes while reading this book (I know I probably didn't explain that well but its the best I can do). The story does start out a little slow but from there on it is an explosion of climaxes and cliffhangers and "what about this?" and "what does this mean?". As for the reason everyone in the reviews are saying they couldn't like this book, yes the story is completely different from what happened in the Glade and there on. It is set about thirteen years before the Glade if I'm not mistaken. Given the time period, it also has different characters. People in the reviews had said that none of tmr protagonists were in it and they couldn't get past maybe 100 pages or so. I'm trying my best not to spoil anything just maybe shine a little hope for those interested in reading but are more persuaded by the negative reviews, everything will tie together in the end. You will understand why this story is important. Most people are expecting a continuation in tmr plot, but I find that this was a great way to explain all the background of WICKED and the Flare and everything that was not given before. Not all, but a lot more than you knew. As I've said before, and many can admit, James Dashner usually does not write a lot of detail in parts of the story for this very reason. To write something no one was expecting and create a story like none other. The reader may want all the information in front of them, but in this case it will unravel itself. If you are a big fan of the maze runner series, you will understand the importance of this book and how truly well written this entire series is.

Dreizehn Jahre bevor Thomas und seine Freunde sich im Labyrinth wiederfanden, zerstörte die Sonne viele Teile der Erde und eine neue Seuche brach aus: Der Brand (The Flare).Das Cover zeigt eine von der Sonne in Brand gesteckte Welt und stimmt einen gleich auf die Handlung des Buches ein.Wer die ursprüngliche Trilogie gelesen hat, weiß schon was auf der Welt passierte und das es den Brand gibt. Aber wie waren die Anfänge? Dahin nimmt uns dieses Buch mit.Erzählt wird die Geschichte aus der Perspektive von Mark, durch eine übergeordneten Erzähler. Mark ist ein Teenager, der versucht zusammen mit Frenden und neu gefundenen Verbündeten in dieser neuen, erschreckenden Welt zu überleben.James Dashner hat es auch in der Vorgeschichte geschafft wieder sympathische Charaktere und einen spannenden und mitreissenden Plot zu schaffen und hat mich mit seiner Geschichte schnell wieder in seinen Bann gezogen.Eine gelungene Vorgeschichte, die der ursprünglichen Troilogie in nichts nachsteht.
