I'm actually pretty disappointed with this! A serious lack of answers, I think, and just not the way I expected the book to go. Oh well. 
 Review originally posted on The Book Addict's Guide: Oh, The Death Cure. What can I possibly say about you? I know there were other reviews around that were disappointed with how this series concluded -- and I had expected to feel the same way -- but secretly, I was hoping to enjoy it. Nope. Didn't happen. I was disappointed too. 
 Firstly, I felt a little bit like I did at the end of Lost. We were left with a somewhat satisfying but mostly unresolved ending. We know where our characters end up and can imagine a future for them as we leave them at the end of the series, but I still had a lot of questions. It bothered me so much because I wondered why Thomas WASN'T curious. WICKED was all he knew of his whole life - and other people's lives hedged on what he knew about WICKED and his decision whether it was ultimately good or if they had a hidden agenda (well, of course they do). I guess I can understand that he didn't want to know about all of the horrible things he may have spawned before the Maze, but don't you think ultimately, good or bad, knowing what he did could help him change things for the greater good if that's what he wanted to do? Anyway. The whole thing just bothered me. As a reader, I hate being left in the dark unless it's for suspense/mystery purposes. Since this was the final piece of the puzzle of the series, I expected WAY more reveals than we had. 
 I'm glad Minho was still with the group, but I also didn't like that we almost completely lost all of our favorite Gladers, the people we knew and trusted from the first book. Minho is actually one of my favorite characters, so if he would have been absent from this book, I would have been really upset. I don't really care for Brenda -- even in this book I didn't know if I could trust her - and I'm still upset that Thomas never really came back around to Teresa. We were left with Brenda and Jorge. And even after seeing him in The Scorch Trials, who is Jorge? He seemed to be there simply for the fact that he can fly a Berg and that's it. Not to mention Dashner's portrayal of Jorge as a Hispanic character is wildly stereotypical with every sentence ending in "muchacho" or "hermano" (which as a Spanish major, I've personally experienced that there's WAY better slang than that and I've rarely heard Spanish-speaking people call anyone else "muchacho") so that actually really bothered me. 
 Overall, I was just really disappointed with the book. The ending picked up when we got into a bit more of the action, but the first two books were definitely more exciting and suspenseful for me.
