Thankfully, I had bought the sequel far earlier&#8211;and had it signed by James Dashner himself. Just a warning, this review has some spoilers of the previous book. Because of the huge twist of the first one it&#8217;s difficult not to spoil the big twist. Be warned.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The Plot: <\/span>The story was very fast paces with lots of running, spying, and mystery. It held my attention throughout, and even had some good twists. It kept to the flavor of the original while still being new and fresh. The whole concept of NPCs put into human bodies is just mindblowing.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The Characters: <\/span>Michael struggles a lot with guilt in this one. He feels bad for being put in a human body and strives to find his places in the real world. But I like his character arc and how he begins to find confidence in himself with his friends.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">Sarah and Bryson are great best pals. Kaine was still in the background and I hope he comes out more in the last book, but it seems to be a Dashner thing to have his villains in the background. Agent Weber is a cryptic woman, but I hope she develops more in the final book. So many secrets!<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: large;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The Setting:<\/span> &nbsp;Unlike the first book, this one is set primarily in the real world, especially Atlanta, Ga, which makes me happy because I live an hour-ish from there. I wish Dashner went into some more details about the city, because I couldn&#8217;t say I recognized much, but perhaps it would change in the future. However, he did mention the Atlanta Falcon&#8217;s stadium, so that&#8217;s something I knew. He also described police on horses sorta like what you would see in NYC sometimes, but I&#8217;ve never seen those.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Epic Things: <\/span>Number one favorite epic thing was that Dashner reference cranks from <i>the Maze Runner<\/i> trilogy. That was just awesome.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The Theme: <\/span>Dashner brought up a lot of big questions about what is real and what isn&#8217;t and what is human and what isn&#8217;t. I really like the line: A string of code in another body being life. It really makes you think. I also liked that Dashner showed that online friends can be good friends. I have met several people online who turned out to be great people.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Content Cautions: <\/span><span style=\"font-size: small;\">This is an action science-fiction novel, so there&#8217;s a bit of violence that involves hitting and fighting and such. Nothing severe. There was some especially crude humor in here, which I was thought was a bit course even for James Dashner, including talk of men&#8217;s parts. There were three usages of h*** and one usage of d***.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: large;\">What We Can Take Away For Our Writing:<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><b>1.) Disorienting the Reader &#8211;<\/b> Dashner has a good way of confusing you on purpose. It&#8217;s often how he sets up his best twists. Then eventually he gives you the real answer. He did this in <i>the Maze Runner<\/i> and he also does this in <i>the Mortality Doctrine<\/i>. He makes the reader doubt his or herself on what is true and what is false. It creates some very interesting tension.<\/span><br \/>\n<b><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><b>How this can be applied to writing: <\/b>Have you tried confusing your reader to your advantage?

Taking Away the Characters&#8217; Weapons &#8211;<\/b> In the Mortality Doctrine series, the main characters&#8217; biggest weapon is hacking using the code of the game. It&#8217;s a subtle way for them to get themselves out of bad situations in the VirtNet or even bring in things such as weapons. However, near the climax of this book the only way they can enter the VirtNet without being detected by Kaine is to use a method that doesn&#8217;t allow them to subtly use hacking. This pushes them to have to think out of the box and raises the stakes.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;;\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><b>How this can be applied to writing:<\/b> Can you take away a character&#8217;s weapon to raise the stakes?
