Maybe you like(d) TMR. What are your thoughts on it currently, considering James Dashner was charged with sexual harassment?

To be completely honest, I didn’t even know! But also, that honestly doesn’t really change things for me.
What about you, Emary??

I didn’t ever really like TMR in the first place. I found it very predictable and couldn’t really get into the characters, if you know what I mean. So it makes me dislike the book even more.
I separate the work from the author. I love TMR but I hate the author and will never support his actions. I hope he never writes another TMR book because I don't want to give him any more money

I totally agree. I always separate book from author. He came out with the cranks palace, and I am going to buy it because it is Newt. After that No more books from him. I am going to just go to the library.

I had no idea about James Dashner being charged for harassment.Aside from that, the first book was amazing but it got progressively worse. Never gonna buy another one of his for that reason also not going to support an author who sexual harassed someone.
I strongly disliked the books in the first place, and the thing is, I could see from the way women were treated in the story how Dashner could have done something so awful.I hate the books even more now.
I red 4 of the books and I really liked them. I was planning to buy and read the other books but I had no idea about this scandal...Just saw it and decided to not to buy them..
Even if I want to read the books in the future, I will find them in a library or something instead of buying and support him in any ways...
