This book gets a 2.5 sadly. It started out very promising, but then the women get taken and from that moment on, we get trapped in some kind of loophole. Not literally, don’t get me wrong. It just feels that way, because the two male characters we are stuck with, keep finding themselves in the same situation, which gives the idea that the mwandishi had little to no inspiration and that saddens me, because I loved The Maze Runner. They did switch between present and past, which was relieving, because then we at least have some other characters around us, because having to read about two characters- and not the most compelling ones at that- for several chapters in a row can be very frustrating. The dialogues weren’t brilliant. Only the infected ones had some cool lines. All kwa all not a very good book. Let’s hope Fever Code gets a higher score.
