Not as good as the first one but still an amazing book

“Maze Runner: Kill Order” by James Dashner is a prequel in the “Maze Runner” series. It follows the story of a group of characters similar to the survivors from Maze Runner, except years before any of the trials occurred. During “Kill…

The Kill Order is mostly about different characters from the past. Before thomas, the glade, or even wicked. The sun flare hits the earth, killing most of the population. The flare was a virus that would fill humans with murderous rage.…

The Kill Order is a good book overall. The story progression and the character development are very good. At first, the book can be confusing as it is around a different cast of characters. Chapter one jumps back in time with a different…

An excellent book. Dark and bleak. Keep reading after the acknowledgments for more.

fast paced prequel to the Maze Runner.

Giving 5/5 only cause I take things at face value. And that ending!! (not the ending of the story, but the "top-secret" part and how it ties in with the characters in the series).

Mark and Trina live as impoverished children living with a band of their friends and company when a disease starts ravaging the planet. Madness, violence, and death make their way to the group who need to outrun the virus and stay alive…

The Kill Order is the final book of the Maze Runner series by James Dashner. This book contains the sequel and explanation of how and what happened to cause the mishaps and chaos in the other books. We meet a group of individuals…

Amazing! Even though the main characters aren’t really in use in this book, it’s still really good!!

The Kill Order by James Dashner is a very exciting book in The Maze Runner series. The book starts off in a condition that we know very well today as quarantine. Many people in the book are living in the woods or their own encampments and…

I really thought that this would be better than The Death Cure. Dashner had so much history to work with- the sun flares, the beginning of the virus... and instead of focusing on one and really fleshing it out, he tried to do both and…

this book is great and I highly suggest it. Many things that James Dashner wrote in this book are crazy close to events that are happening now. It freaked me out when I read it and how close it was to present events. You should read this…

I was really looking forward to reading the prequel, but this book was so disappointing. the quality of this book compared to the rest of the series just wasn't up to par. First of all definitely was not expecting it to be about different…

If you love Theresa so much, you'd put up with anything this book is for you. If you skip this book and you won't miss anything and you will likely have a better review of the series. I'm not sure how this book made it into the series -…

I preferred the original "Maze Runner" series to this prequel, as I had high hopes for this book and it fell very short. This book took a long time for me to finish reading, about 2 weeks, when I read all 3 original "Maze Runner" books in…

When I started reading the book, I kept waiting for the characters from the original trilogy to show up. Who are these people, Mark and Trina? Where's Thomas and the other Gladers? Of course, if I'd just read the book jacket, I'd have…

I really enjoyed this book! The Kill Order acts as a prequel to The Maze Runner, far before the maze. It consists of completely different characters, and focuses on the “flare”. I would definitely recommend that you read this book after…

I actually liked this one! Not a huge fan of the Maze Runner trilogy, I didn't have high hopes for this prequel but I found myself enjoying the new characters, the structure of the narrative and the action. In this book you don't have the…

I actually enjoyed this book more than the original trilogy - likely because there's more character development (which the original trilogy couldn't avoid lacking since the characters had no memories). I found the flashbacks to escaping…

The kill order is a very good ending to the maze runner seiries. In the kill order the book takes you back in time to when the Flare has just struck. I would recommend the whole maze runner series to anyone who like science fiction mixed…

Mark kills a crank. Then he kills another crank. Then he fights a bunch but doesn't manage to kill them. Fights another one and oh look! A flashback of him killing MORE cranks. Boring and monotonous, I did not enjoy this book.
