I have always been a big fan of dystopian/apocalyptic novels like The Hunger Games, Ashfall, and last but not least Divergent. Earlier this year, I was introduced to The Maze Runner series. To be honest, I was kind of getting bored of trilogies and I wasn't really keen on starting The Maze Runner so I completely ignored it up until it's movie trailer came out. The trailer had everything any action fan would want, it had running, dramatic music, monsters and an epic enormous maze. So, I decided to challenge myself and try to finish the whole trilogy before the movie comes out and I did it! The books were so captivating that I couldn't keep them out of my hands.
When the lift cranks open, the only thing Thomas remembers is his first name. But he's not alone-an army of boys welcome him to the Glade, an encampment at the center of a terrible maze. The Gladers have no idea why they're there, or what's happened to the world outside. And following the arrival of a girl with a message, they must find a way out - or die.
The Maze Runner (The first book of the trilogy) circles around a boy named Thomas who wakes up to find himself stuck in a Glade filled entirely with boys with no memory of his life. The boys explain to him how they've built a small society where everyone is assigned different tasks. There are the butchers, cleaners and most importantly runners who go out everyday to explore the maze that surrounds the glade that keeps them grounded. If the runners do not make it back by nightfall before the walls to the Glade close, they will get trapped inside the Maze with savage monsters called the Grievers. Thomas became determined to join the runners to find a way out of the frightening maze to end it once and for all.
James Dashner, the author of the book may not be the best writer but he knows exactly how to keep his readers hooked. The way Dashner describes the Maze and the Glade made me feel like I actually live with the characters.
If you're into thrilling, action packed, sci-fi novels then The Maze Runner series fits the whole package perfectly. Definitely check it out.
