Kyle This book was so disappointing on so many levels. But a huge plot point was completely dismissed. When Minho, Thomas, and Newt escape with Brenda and Jorge, Jorge tells them that the other group lead by Teresa had attacked him and left WICKED without them.

Upon reuniting with Teresa, Thomas asks why her group left without them. She tells him that they searched for them and that they were told that Newt, Minho, and Thomas had escaped into the woods.

Why was one group mislead to believe the other was gone? Either Jorge lied when he told
the other group attacked him or Teresas group was lied to about Thomas's group escaping already. Especially if it was Teresas group being lied too, what was the ultimate reason for that? The reason behind it was lost when Thomas and Teresa never pursued the conversation any further. The author, rather, continued the with Thomas still being upset with Teresa.

I also thought it was at this point in the book Thomas should have started to forgive Teresa further, and the plot turn to another deception with Brenda and Jorge involved in that. I honestly thought that was going to happen, because obviously one group seemed to be misled.

It's a shame the author never let's Thomas forgive Teresa. And then has her save him in the end...it was just a cheap way to kill her off like that.

In reference to when Teresa and the others were escaping, the book never indicated who told them that Minho, Newt, and Thomas escaped into the woods. Jorge never got to tell them anything before being whacked in the head (hehe).

Honestly, would you be able to trust a person like Teresa? I mean, one moment she's trying to kill you, then you find out she was forced to, but how can you not expect her to manipulate you again? It's hard to trust after that. Then, one second she's DIEING to get her memories back, then the next she's leading an escape? That girl is confusing.

Thomas never really had a change to forgive her, and that wasn't really his fault. I do agree that was kinda a lame way to end a character, but it was pretty obvious Dashner did that, cause he didn't want some love triangle conflict in the ending.

Jacobhuber This book was not a disappoint. I hated how he ended it but it wouldnt be as good and epic if he didnt kill teresa... She was the one person we thought wouldnt die and then its heartbreaking that she did.... I hated her in the scorch trials but i always knew her heart was pure of the sin that thomas thinks.. I started crying when she couldnt finish her last sentence of her life... it was emotional and sad but it is what made this book so good
