The Scorch Trials by James Dashner is the second installment of the Maze Runner series. It definitely did not disappoint, it was just as action packed as the first. This time though, they are put through even harder obstacles and other crazy mind-altering variables. This book also focuses more on their character and positions in the groups. Especially for these three characters; Thomas, Newt, and Minho.
The boys were all labeled by WICKED based on their standpoint in this whole 'experiment.'
Thomas was labeled 'to be killed by Group B'. I definitely thought that was odd. I mean, I guess I can't be too sure that that won't happen, because WICKED already has each stage of the trials set. But Thomas is ultimately the main character, so I don't believe he will die anytime soon. (Still a possibility, though.)
Newt was labeled 'the glue'. I absolutely agree with that. I think he is the person that keeps everything in order and makes sure everyone's good and willing. He is a compassionate leader with a heavy heart. And even through all the tough and terrible times the Gladers have been through, Newt has made sure everyone stuck together, and no one betrayed one another.
Minho was labeled 'the leader'. Now, I was a little shocked at first. I'd always expected Newt to become the leader, since Alby was no longer with them. But I guess I can see Minho as a leader, he was a Keeper for the Runners. And he is a great strategist and a fighter. Although, sometimes he takes his power too far.
So this is just my perception on the characters as of now. Although WICKED sees them a little differently, this is the way I predict their characteristics will play out.
