“The scorch trials” is the second book in “The maze runner” series written by James Dashner. The series has always been a popular dystopia, post-apocalyptic series, however last year the first book was turned into a movie and it made it be all over the hype. This second book was also turned into a movie, which has recently hit the theaters. Since I liked both the first book and movie I decided to read this second book before watching the movie.

After the maze Thomas, Teresa and the rest of the boys were brought to a facility, there they were fed and given a place to sleep. But something starts not going well and Thomas is not able to hear Teresa inside his head anymore, and when they woke up they found they are wearing a tattoo each. Thomas’ tattoo says he was supposed to be called by the group. When they went looking for Teresa they found a boy instead. They will soon find out their maze was not the only one, that all of them are carriers of the sickness that has killed most population and that the maze was just the first step in an experiment that aims to find the cure.


“The scorch trials” was a really good book. The plot was mysterious and full of nail-biting moments in which you were unable to put the book down. However there were some parts that were difficult to follow since we know so little about WICKD and the experiments. About the characters I think most of them suffer a development in this book, they start sounding more like adults even when they are supposed to be teenagers. I feel like I cannot talk much about this book without making big spoilers of it, so I would just say I really think you should read this book if you read and liked the first one.

October Wrap Up - November TBR

Hello again everyone, Today starts a new month and that means that it is time to wrap up the previous month and set this month's TBR. Last month I set an ambitious TBR which I was unable to complete entirely, but I did manage to get a lot read which makes me kind of happy. As I also said on the previous month's post I was going to center this past month's TBR on the "Sweep/ Wicca" series by Cate Tiernan, and that is what I did. I managed to finish the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, and get thought half of the eleventh. I have enjoyed most of this books, however the last two, Seeker and Origins, change the point of view and I have not been able to click with them as I was able to so with the other ones. As for the November TBR, I want to still finish this series, reading the twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth and sixteenth books in the series, Eclipse, Reckoning, Full Circle and Night Child. Appart from that, I want to keep finishing s...

She will discover them all the moment she discover she carries a rare gene which allows her to travel back in time. Everyone was expecting her cousin to inherit the gene; however, she was the lucky one. She will have to face the order of the count of St. Germain, who have the mission to complete the chronograph, an instrument which allow the travelers to choose the date to which they will travel.
