I made a similar criticism of Allegiant (Divergent #3) and The Death Cure has similar “end of series” issues. But in The Death Cure the characters lurch from one episode and location to the next, getting into trouble just to have something to do. In the first two installments, the trials provided solid structures/settings and clear plot lines (1: the Maze and getting out of it 2: the Scorch and getting across it). If you’d like some more background, read my reviews of The Maze Runner (Book 1) and The Scorch Trials (Book 2). Now will the survivors get their memories back and help WICKED save mankind from a lethal pandemic?
They’ve escaped the Maze and made it across the Scorch. A disappointing end to a promising series. A series of chaotic incidents rather than a strong conclusion.
