We know that we have A LOT of Maze Runner fans in the TL, so we couldn't pass up adding the prequel to our summer reading list. If you have not yet read The Maze Runner, you can easily start with The Kill Order and not feel lost.
The Kill Order follows a small group of solar-flare survivors who have eked out a living in the Appalachian Mountains. Their recovery is shattered when they are attacked by a group of government soldiers with virus leaden darts. The virus instantly kills many, becomes air-born, and begins to infect everyone else. As they search for answers to the attack, they stumble across a child who appears to be immune to the virus.
We have to be honest here, we weren't really fans of The Maze Runner trilogy. Although we love the plot, we have never been able to connect with any of the characters enough to really care about whether or not they survived. We were hoping that this prequel would change our minds, but... After finishing this one, we had learned very little about this new group, very little about WICKED, and very little about The Glade. In fact, there are still so many unanswered questions, that we are certain there will be a second prequel. If you are looking for non-stop action, you'll love this one. If you are looking for answers, we think you'll just end up with even more questions.
Next Up: **The 2012 Fall Reading List! We'll post the titles next Friday, Aug. 31st. TL Early Birds can pick up a copy of the list on Wednesday, Aug. 29th.**
