Book Review: The Kill Order



The Kill Order is the prequel to the Maze Runner series. It came out awhile ago, but I was hesitant to read it because I was so invested in the characters from the series and I knew they wouldn't be in this one. After a year had passed though, I was ready. It really was a good book. It's told from the perspective of Mark, a person living in the year after the solar flares. For those of you who haven't read the Maze Runner series, I won't give too much away. But for those of you who have, it covers the first couple of years after the flares including the devastation, the release of The Flare, and the consequences that follow. It is told through flasbacks and present-time accounts. It was a very interesting perspective to see what happens before the series begins. And, of course, there's a little bit of Teresa and Thomas in there. I read it in a little over 24 hours because there was enough action to keep me interested. But fair warning, there are some..disturbing...scenes in the book, too. (Think about the Cranks and their origins)
