Prova de Fogo (The Maze Runner, #2)

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

O Labirinto foi só o começo... o pior está por vir. Depois de superarem os perigos mortais do Labirinto, Thomas e seus amigos acreditam que estão a salvo em uma nova realidade. Mas a aparente tranquilidade é interrompida quando são acordados no meio da noite por gritos lancinantes de criaturas disformes – os Cranks – que ameaçam devorá-los vivos. Atordoados, os Clareanos descobrem que a salvação aparente na verdade pode ser outra armadilha, ainda pior que a Clareira e o Labirinto. E que as coisas não são o que aparentam. Para sobreviver nesse mundo hostil, eles terão de fazer uma travessia repleta de provas cruéis em um meio ambiente devastado, sem água, comida ou abrigo. Calor causticante durante o dia, rajadas de vento gélido à noite, desolação e um ar irrespirável – no Deserto do novo mundo até mesmo a chuva é a promessa de uma morte agonizante. Eles, porém, não estão sozinhos – cada passo é espreitado por criaturas famintas e violentas, que atacam sem avisar. Manipulação, mentiras e traições cercam o caminho dos Clareanos, mas para Thomas a pior prova será ter de escolher em quem acreditar.

    I was sorely disappointed in this book. I loved the first one and was excited to read the next installment. But, while The Maze Runner was a page turner and left me breathless from page one, this one was slow paced until half the book. While the first book intruduced the readers to the series universe and at the end answered at least some of the questions, this one not only failed to answer questions left from the previous one but also added more questions. Thomas memories returned far too slowly and it only explained a small part of what was really happening. The most interesting character by far, Theresa, was absent through most of the book but I did loved the addition of Brenda and was able to connect with her. The "plot twist" left me a little bit excited at first, but it was predictable that Theresa wasn't really a traitor. I did liked the final battle scene, it was one of the only salvageble parts of the book. The cliffhanger irritated me, because again, not enough answers and more questions. I'll be reading the next installments and the prequel hoping to understand the whole thing and praying to be satisfied with the series as a whole.
