There is quite a bit of jumping around and many characters. They are thriving a normal and peaceful life until a big rusty boat arrives with grim news from the mainland. The Maze Runner survivors' settlement is on an island (Alaska) the grandchildren are known as islanders. 'The Maze Cutter' explores the lives of descendants from the original series and new members from two other factions almost a century after the original series ended. The islanders will have to survive long enough to figure out why they are being targeted, who is friend or foe, and what the Godhead has planned for the future of humanity. When they cross paths with an orphan named Minho from the Remnant Nation, the dangers become real and they don't know who they can trust. The islanders are hunted by the Godhead, the Remnant Nation, and scientists with secret agendas. The group and their islander friends are forced to embark back to civilization where they find Cranks have evolved into a more violent, intelligent version of themselves. Sadina, Isaac, and Jackie all learned about the unkind history of the Gladers from The Book of Newt and tall tales from Old Man Frypan, but when a rusty old boat shows up one day with a woman bearing dark news of the mainland-everything changes. The only issue I had was that this book is obviously part of a bigger story, because it ends abruptly without some answers.Seventy-three years after the events of The Death Cure, when Thomas and other immunes were sent to an island to survive the Flare-triggered apocalypse, their descendants have thrived. Overall, I enjoyed the plot, the writing style was new and fun. It hides just the right amount of details so that the reader is just as lost and confused as the characters, but still understands the urgency. The format of this book is clever, in that it jumps between perspectives quickly, but still has chapters that tie everything together, sort of like a TV show. They find themselves having to choose between comfort and survival, and who to trust. Once they get to the mainland and the real world, things escalate. Quickly after that they leave the island and embark on a perilous voyage into the unknown.

They are living their normal life when one day they find a ship from the old world on their shores. This new generation of kids have no real concept of the outside world, only hearing about the dangers from stories around the campfire.

The main plot of this new book follows a group of kids who grew up on the isolated safe haven of an island where, in the last book, they sought refuge. I would highly recommend reading those books before this one so you aren’t confused. The Maze Cutter, by James Dashner is a new series set 73 years after the events of the Maze Runner trilogy. In my free time I ski a lot, play piano, snowmobile, and read. The Maze Cutter by James Dashner Hi, I’m Zach.
