UPDATE 19.2.16 
 So I just found out that Deedee is actually Teresa?! Mind blown! 
 FINALLY finished it!! 
 It was quite slow at the beginning but definitely picked up, and it was great to find out more about the world before the maze. I liked the characters, but never really got attached to them (I think I was mainly missing newt and Minho) and I wish we found out what happened to Deedee, but overall it was a good read!
