So at last we have arrived at the end of the Maze Runner Trilogy and I can now breathe a sigh of relief – safe in the knowledge that Minho survived until the bitter end (and that’s really all that matters! Right?!). I found James Dashner’s narrative to be slightly patchy and dragged in some chapters. Overall though, the book remained fast-paced and entertaining yet, became tinged with a darkness that brought several moral and ethical issues into play.
Finally, the author has heeded my oh so brilliant wisdom (not really, but I like to think that he has) and given Teresa a purpose that she lacked in the previous two books, being more of a deadweight then actual help. Not only Teresa, but the remaining characters all seem to have a purpose in the final book as they come face to face with the harsh brutality of the world.
All in all, Death Cure is a brilliant ending to the Maze Runner Trilogy and it remains a depiction of the future which is not as far-fetched as humanity would like to believe.
So what did you think of the ending?
Rating: 3/5

Looks like a good book, although maybe not my type of thing. I should read more often though!

The movies are not as good as the books. I have actually posted a film/book review for Maze Runner 2 if you want to check it out, though there might be spoilers 😊

Death Cure provides one of the best endings for this triology though the part where Newt dies is really cruel to the readers and fans.

I completely agree with you. Newts death was symbolising that no outcome can come to pass without sacrifice and I think that Dasher knew that this particular character who was considered the glue would hit the reader the hardest…and it sure did.

Dashner also made it really worse with Teresa sacrificing herself for Thomas.

I don’t think it was a sacrifice so much as a way of repenting her previous acts. Teresa was definitely one of my least favourite characters particularly, because of the fact that she didn’t seem to have much of a purpose in the first two books; only coming to life as a character in the third book.

You’re right. She didn’t really have a purpose in the first two books,other than follow WICKED orders. I like that Teresa sacrificed herself because it’s like she redeemed herself.
