26. A book and its prequel The Maze Runner and The Scorch Trials and The Death Cure

**I know, this is not the book and it's prequel. I read book 1, it was okay but not my "cuppa tea". I meant to read book 0.5 but wasn't paying attention to my challenge list and read book 2. It left off on a cliff hangar, so I had to know what happened and read book 3. But I am done, so I read three books for this one.
