* I received a free arc from Netgalley in exchange for a free review. I definitely think this novella is worth a read.

Thankfully Covid is nowhere as wild as the Flare, but if this novella has shown me anything, it’s that in these hard times, we need to remember to be kind to everyone we meet.Įveryone’s fighting their own unseen battles and everyone could use a bit of love.

I never expected The Maze Runner to become half a reflection of our world.

It was heartwarming to read their journey together and how they try to stay alive, while it was so heartbreaking to read as the Flare starts to take hold of them. I suppose you could see them as the last tether Newt has to sanity. We meet a new character, Keisha, and her son. I didn’t expect to get so emotional in some parts, especially with the book being so short. Instead, I got a heartfelt yet sad story of a young man spiraling into madness while still trying to help his friends. I expected cranks and Newt having a tough time surviving. I don’t usually read novellas, though I have been reviewing a few as of late, but I’m so glad I got the chance to read this one.

Newt is obviously my favorite character (and Thomas Brodie-Sangster from the movies will forever be my celebrity crush) so of course I grabbed at the chance to read more of his story. Let me start off by saying that I did not think this short novella comprising of 83 pages would make me so emotional.
