The Scorch Trials is the sequel to The Maze Runner. If you try the series, I would plan on reading one relatively soon after the other. It's been weeks since I read The Maze Runner, and some of the characters and relationships have already gotten fuzzy, thus I felt less attached as I read the second installment. The beginning was slow for me. I had to get past the annoying slang all over again and reconnect with the characters, but at about the half way point I got interested and moved through the rest very quickly (this is exactly what happened to me with the first.) I am looking forward to reading the next book, The Death Cure.
Quick summary: Thomas and gang have barely made it out of the maze when WICKED gives them a new seemingly impossible mission. Their only hope of survival is to play along and hope they make it through the Scorch alive. The Theresa sub-plot takes an unexpected turn that I don't really like, but I will see where Dashner takes it in The Death Cure before I pass judgment!
