kind of a mixed bagHonestly， I really wanted to like this book but a good 75% of it dragged。 A lot of the characters were easily forgettable， and at times I wished that the author just kept the series finished。 But the final quarter for sure gave me hope that this story was worth telling。

I didn't even know there was going to be more to the series！I seriously devoured reading The Maze Cutter。 The Maze Cutter had everything I enjoyed reading in The Maze Runner Series。 The writing style is very easy to read and follow。 I liked the good mix of sci-fi and thriller elements。 What's a Maze Runner novel without the characters？！ Don't worry， there is still great characterization， and several characters with distinct personalities。I really liked the pacing of the plot， although I do feel I didn't even know there was going to be more to the series！I seriously devoured reading The Maze Cutter。 The Maze Cutter had everything I enjoyed reading in The Maze Runner Series。 The writing style is very easy to read and follow。 I liked the good mix of sci-fi and thriller elements。 What's a Maze Runner novel without the characters？！ Don't worry， there is still great characterization， and several characters with distinct personalities。I really liked the pacing of the plot， although I do feel like it's the usual set up/loop of what one would expect to see in a Maze Runner novel。。。 （saying this in a factual manner）There were times where I was a bit lost， not due to unclear writing， but for the events where just a bit over the top and the setting the ground work for certain aspects of The Maze Cutter。 The Maze Cutter is a multiple perspective dystopian， and it is still easy to follow。 When the perspective changes， it is labeled。Overall， I felt The Maze Cutter was very well written and I would like to continue with the series。 I would highly recommend if you are a fan of The Maze Runner Series and the Dystopian/Zombie genre。 I would like to state， that I personally feel you don't necessarily have to have read The Maze Runner Series before reading The Maze Cutter。 If you were to read the series， or have read it beforehand， it just gives a special insight or know how， that's good to have， but not needed to be able to enjoy reading The Maze Cutter。 Yes， The Maze Cutter is listed as The Maze Runner number 6， but it is also a new series set within The Maze Runner Universe。Upon completion I learned of a novella， The Crank Palace， that I didn't know existed， that I'm interested in reading！ 。。。more

I admit， I did not have high expectations when I picked up The Maze Cutter。 Maze Runner is an incredibly difficult series to follow up。 However， I was pleasantly surprised。 TLDR: It wasn't bad， but I'm not obsessed。 The Verdict: I loved returning to such a familiar world and seeing how it evolved over 73 years。 Dashner did an excellent job showing how the language and cultures shifted。 It felt so realistic considering how much time has passed since we last interacted with this universe of Dash I admit， I did not have high expectations when I picked up The Maze Cutter。 Maze Runner is an incredibly difficult series to follow up。 However， I was pleasantly surprised。 TLDR: It wasn't bad， but I'm not obsessed。 The Verdict: I loved returning to such a familiar world and seeing how it evolved over 73 years。 Dashner did an excellent job showing how the language and cultures shifted。 It felt so realistic considering how much time has passed since we last interacted with this universe of Dashner's， and that world building had me turning every page。Also， the Orphan。 10/10 character development。 He deserves to carry on the Minho name。 The main reason I knocked the rating to 4 stars instead of 5 is that there were way too many characters that added so little to the plot， especially with the group Isaac was with。 The whole group was just too much to keep track of and there were characters thrown in at the beginning that have no purpose except to be there。 I get that adding background characters makes a world richer， but it just didn't quite work in a way I would have connected with。 In general， Dashner did not use as much detail in this book as he has in his previous ones。 There were some important scenes that felt flat to me。 Though Dashner was more bold in his explicit language this time around， the writing overall read more like a middle grade novel rather than the YA novel I was expecting。 It works， but it feels disjointed from the previous series。 Honorable Annotations and Quotes: （view spoiler）[ But we’ve gotta get on that boat。 Haha Isaac must be one of Thomas' descendants。 Someone grabbed Isaac by the arms and started dragging him across the floor。 It was a bumpy ride。 Definitely related to Thomas。 The Flare was their devil， the Cure their God。And that was the crux。 The root of all her fears。 Madness。It can only be answered with two words， and I hope you don’t take offense。” When he [Mannus] didn’t say more， she [Alexandra] prodded him。 “Okay。 What are the two words， please？” “Hell， no。”I actually laughed at this part。 It's going straight into my quote repertoire。 The Orphan tripped， hit his head， and fell through a gaping hole in the bridge floor。 Roxy probably heard the splash。 （hide spoiler）]I received a digital ARC from Akashic Media in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

I like the first few book in this series， this story not so much， the characters were lack luster and even boring， the plot not the best and never enough clarity in it， the narrator was the same， that is plus。

Not much to report here。 Just a cash grab sequel that didn’t need to - maybe shouldn’t have - happened。

As soon as I saw that James Dashner was continuing with the Maze Runner series there was no hesitation in getting this book。 I ran and immediately immersed myself in the book。 The Maze Runner series was so good， and I can see the potential of The Maze Cutter and all future books in this new series。 The Maze Cutter is set 73 years after the events of the Maze Runner series。 All of the participants of the Maze Runner are gone except for FryPan （he is almost 90）。 The readers are introduced to three As soon as I saw that James Dashner was continuing with the Maze Runner series there was no hesitation in getting this book。 I ran and immediately immersed myself in the book。 The Maze Runner series was so good， and I can see the potential of The Maze Cutter and all future books in this new series。 The Maze Cutter is set 73 years after the events of the Maze Runner series。 All of the participants of the Maze Runner are gone except for FryPan （he is almost 90）。 The readers are introduced to three different groups。 Members of the God Head who are based in Alaska， a group called the Remnant Nation （very similar to a cult） who are based somewhere in Nebraska and then the descendants of the original Gladers who are located on a remote island。 In the Maze Cutter we are introduced to the aftermath of the Flare and how the world survived。 The people living on the island are visited by a woman named Cletter who arrives in a boat。 She convinces a group to go back to California to help develop a cure for the Flare。 Upon their arrival the true adventure begins。 Members of the group end up kidnapped not once， but twice。 The God Head want the people of the Island as well as the members of the Remnant Nation。 The people of the island are now pawns in the ongoing feud between the God Head and the Remnant Nation。 Will they survive？ The three groups are faced with death and misaligned plans and adventure。I was so excited to see the Maze Runner series continue even if it was 73 years later。 I liked the new introduction to the descendants to the original Gladers。 I really liked the character the orphan or better known as Minho and his friend Roxy。 They were the most fleshed out characters。 I really only felt for those characters and their well-being。 I wanted to learn more about them and their lives in the aftermath of the Flare。 I also liked that the book was told from different perspectives。 We were able to see diary entries from Newt， learn a little bit about the God Head from their point of view， The Remnant Nation from Minho's perspective， and see how the flare has impacted the survivors on the remote island。 Even though there were good things about the book there were also things that did not work。 I had a hard time continuing to read the book。 It took me forever to finish。 It felt slow at moments where I hoped there would be more action。 This book was supposed to set up the series but in reading I really only felt for Minho and Roxy。 There were backstories for characters that were told too late， and I was not able to develop connections。 There was less character development for the other characters。 I was always looking forward to seeing what Minho and Roxy were up to but not so much for the other characters。 I also felt like the book tells very little about the God Head。 The book was not fleshed out about them， who they are， how the group developed， how they came into power and their ultimate goal in finding the descendants from the Island。 I also wish there was more background story for the Remnant Nation。 The book gives minor details about the two groups at the very end of the story。 With all that being said I will probably look for the other books in the new Maze Cutter series。 The series has a lot of potential。 It could be just as good if not better than the original Maze Runner series。 I just hope the remainder of the series talks more about the people and the groups so we as readers can develop more connections。 And of course， I want ACTION。。。this is what James Dashner is known for as well as the Maze Runner Series。 Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC。 This is my honest opinion of The Maze Cutter by James Dashner 。。。more

After reading the ARC I was given in exchange for an honest review， I didn't know what to expect from this book。 I quite liked how the plot is 73 years after the original books as it gives fans a insight into what happened after the original gladers made it to the safe Haven， and how it has evolved， meeting new characters and reading about their life and adventures。3 stars， could be better but not terrible。 I would reccomend if you are fans of the original books。 After reading the ARC I was given in exchange for an honest review， I didn't know what to expect from this book。 I quite liked how the plot is 73 years after the original books as it gives fans a insight into what happened after the original gladers made it to the safe Haven， and how it has evolved， meeting new characters and reading about their life and adventures。3 stars， could be better but not terrible。 I would reccomend if you are fans of the original books。 。。。more

In all honesty I’m not much of a reader or anything。 Just never have been… but I fell in love with the Maze Runner movies when I was younger and had to read the books and they are so far the only series I’ve ever managed to fully read。 The Maze Cutter was okay at best。 It has its moments where it’s exciting， and then it’s moments of pure yawning material。 It’s a bit messy and leaves you unsatisfied as a Maze Runner series book。 I think at the end of the day， I was just expecting a different rout In all honesty I’m not much of a reader or anything。 Just never have been… but I fell in love with the Maze Runner movies when I was younger and had to read the books and they are so far the only series I’ve ever managed to fully read。 The Maze Cutter was okay at best。 It has its moments where it’s exciting， and then it’s moments of pure yawning material。 It’s a bit messy and leaves you unsatisfied as a Maze Runner series book。 I think at the end of the day， I was just expecting a different route for this book and was hoping to follow our beloved original characters as adults dealing with fatherhood， their wives， and new problems… but we were lucky to even get a mention of any of them。 Instead we got a group of very uninteresting characters that usually had nothing to offer。 It’s an okay book。 Hoping the next one is a bit more exciting。 。。。more

J’ai beaucoup aimé ce nouveau tome du Labyrinthe avec une toute nouvelle génération d’adolescents。 On retrouve l’univers du labyrinthe avec la mise en place d’une nouvelle histoire et de nouvelles aventures。 La plume de James Dashner est toujours aussi superbe。 Plusieurs points de vue sont écrits et plusieurs histoires sont présentées ce qui m’a un peu perdu au début。 Mais tout s’explique au fur et à mesure。 Il faut juste être patient et bien se concentrer sur tous les personnages。 J’espère qu’ J’ai beaucoup aimé ce nouveau tome du Labyrinthe avec une toute nouvelle génération d’adolescents。 On retrouve l’univers du labyrinthe avec la mise en place d’une nouvelle histoire et de nouvelles aventures。 La plume de James Dashner est toujours aussi superbe。 Plusieurs points de vue sont écrits et plusieurs histoires sont présentées ce qui m’a un peu perdu au début。 Mais tout s’explique au fur et à mesure。 Il faut juste être patient et bien se concentrer sur tous les personnages。 J’espère qu’une suite sortira afin de retrouver Isaac， Sadina et toute la bande。 Néanmoins， cette génération ne pourra jamais égaler la génération des blocards。 Points positifs :- nouvelle génération - univers du labyrinthe - différents points de vue - de nouveaux méchants- de nouveaux personnages attachants Points négatifs :- trop de points de vue différents qui se mélangent dans ma tête - l’action arrive un peu tard mais c’est sûrement dû à l’introduction des nouveaux personnages - on regrette un peu la génération de Newt， Thomas， Teresa， Minho 。。。more

I finally had to give up on this。 DNF at 66% I am sorely disappointed。 The original series was fine， but then I read all the prequels which made the whole series more endearing to me。 I was so excited to see a “epilogue” book; I couldn’t wait to find out what happened to several characters and what their world was now like 50+ years later。 Unfortunately after being incredibly slow and boring with no clear plot， the story picked up a “plot” that couldn’t be more stupid or overdone。 I tries， I rea I finally had to give up on this。 DNF at 66% I am sorely disappointed。 The original series was fine， but then I read all the prequels which made the whole series more endearing to me。 I was so excited to see a “epilogue” book; I couldn’t wait to find out what happened to several characters and what their world was now like 50+ years later。 Unfortunately after being incredibly slow and boring with no clear plot， the story picked up a “plot” that couldn’t be more stupid or overdone。 I tries， I really did， but eventually gave up。 I thought I might pick it back up before it expired but couldn’t make myself。 A real pity。Thanks netgalley for my ARC。 。。。more

I read the first two books in the original series about the time they came out， and I have recommended them for many， many students。 Thus， I was excited when I saw this new offering， taking place in the stories’ future。 Sadly， I was a little disappointed。 Unlike the earlier books， this just didn’t have anything that grabbed me or kept my attention。 It also felt like I was dropped into the middle of a story and since I hadn’t reread the older books （nor read all of them） it was confusing at times I read the first two books in the original series about the time they came out， and I have recommended them for many， many students。 Thus， I was excited when I saw this new offering， taking place in the stories’ future。 Sadly， I was a little disappointed。 Unlike the earlier books， this just didn’t have anything that grabbed me or kept my attention。 It also felt like I was dropped into the middle of a story and since I hadn’t reread the older books （nor read all of them） it was confusing at times and boring at times。 Other than “the orphan，” I honestly didn’t care about any of the characters and am unclear about how they fit into the big picture。 Maybe this book is just meant to be a set-up for the future ones， but I am not a fan of books that must exist within a series， I much prefer books that can be stand alone， but leave the reader wishing for more。 The whole plot line with the “godhead”？ I must have missed something。 There’s a brief scene towards the end that seemed about to provide some context， but then it was dropped。 Alexandra was intriguing when first introduced but then … I have no idea what happened。 The ending scenes with her were disturbing and a bit too graphic。 Most of her scenes seemed like they were from a completely different novel。The descriptions of the settings were well done and I could picture them being created in a movie （which I’m sure is in the works）。 As a whole， The Maze Cutter just felt overall disorganized and other than kids going on an adventure… I couldn’t give you a real plot summary。 I definitely wasn’t left with an interest to read the next book… which it was made abundantly clear， is coming soon。 。。。more

I really wanted to enjoy this book。 I liked the books in the Maze Runner series， but even though the writing and atmosphere were very familiar I didn't get drawn into this world。 Plus， I thought that since the world of Maze Runner had already been created in the first books in this series Mr。 Dashner assumed he didn't have to re-build and introduce the world。 This takes place over seventy years after The Death Cure and there hasn't really been a solid entry in the Maze Runner series in about 10 I really wanted to enjoy this book。 I liked the books in the Maze Runner series， but even though the writing and atmosphere were very familiar I didn't get drawn into this world。 Plus， I thought that since the world of Maze Runner had already been created in the first books in this series Mr。 Dashner assumed he didn't have to re-build and introduce the world。 This takes place over seventy years after The Death Cure and there hasn't really been a solid entry in the Maze Runner series in about 10 years。 I think the author should've done some world building or refreshed our memories。 This was so frustrating to me that I barely got an hour into the audiobook before I had to abandon it。 If I feel motivated enough， I may go back and listen to the series again before attempting this book。 Sorry I couldn't give a more positive review。Thank you to NetGalley and Tantor Audio for an ARC audiobook in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

Thank you to Netgalley as well as James Dashner， and Tantor Audio for the audio book ARC of The Maze Cutter in exchange for an honest review。 The Maze Runner was the book series that got me back into reading in 2020。 I was excited to read James’s new book because of this。 The narration of this book as well as the voices and characterization were engaging and very enjoyable。 The first half of this book was world building upon world building in a world that most of us who have read the pervious bo Thank you to Netgalley as well as James Dashner， and Tantor Audio for the audio book ARC of The Maze Cutter in exchange for an honest review。 The Maze Runner was the book series that got me back into reading in 2020。 I was excited to read James’s new book because of this。 The narration of this book as well as the voices and characterization were engaging and very enjoyable。 The first half of this book was world building upon world building in a world that most of us who have read the pervious books know quite well。 But I understand how the author had to set these books apart from the original series with the further world building。 It just felt as if it dragged a little。 It felt as if we didn’t get to the meat and potato’s of the book until the end when the story really picked up。 Over all this audiobook was enjoyable， based on the ending I will probably read the next book in the series， mostly because I love the world。 But this series doesn’t seem to have the same pull for me as the original。 It’s hard when authors put out more books in a world without a majority of the old characters that most of us grew to love。 。。。more

I was so excited to receive this audiobook！ I really enjoyed The Maze Runner Series and Prequels。 I knew I would enjoy this and I wasn’t disappointed。 It’s a different storyline than I was expecting but I thoroughly enjoyed this for what it was。 A few things threw me off but having had an open mind I had fun with this audiobook and I would most definitely recommend it to a friend or twenty。 Thanks to NetGalley once again for this ARC。
