The Maze Runner by James Dashner


My Edition: Paperback; 374 pages
Goodreads: CLICK ME
Get it from Bookdepository: CLICK ME



I'm a sucker for romance, so when a book that contains no romance, but is still able to keep me entertained, I gotta call it a miracle.

The Maze Runner is a book about survival. We follow the protagonist, Thomas, as he wakes up in this weird box and is being sent to The Glade, which is a place in a giant maze. There are already quite a number of boys in The Glade, and their memories have all been wiped out. Thomas, dying to grasp his memories and find out the truth behind this maze, discovers his important role in escaping the maze.

In The Taking, Kyra has a fight with her dad, and a sudden strong light flashes by, then she remembers nothing. After she wakes up and goes home, a strange man is there instead of her mom and dad. She is then being told that she's gone for 5 years, everything is not the same except her. 

Seriously, a really exciting and unique concept. The story is really easy to get into; it's fast-paced and creepy, which is totally my cup of tea!

I have to admit, Switched has got one of the best first lines I've ever seen so far. It immediately caught my attention, aroused my curiosity, and got me aching to know what would happen next.

The One by Kiera Cass


      Title: The One  (The Selection #3)
Author: Kiera Cass
My Edition: Paperback; 323 pages

The selection trilogy is a fairytale; a fairy tale that's not only full of love, but also struggles and sorrow.

As usual, Cass did a great job in telling a very lovely story. The plot is smooth; and the story is fast-paced. Cass' writing style is down-to-earth, making me easier to get into the story.

 In The One, we are able to get to know more about the two main characters, America and Prince Maxon, who have quite a strong character development throughout these three books, which is great because it's like we are growing with the characters.
