Sure, there is the occasional "he was starting to like her more and more" that has grown to be my least favorite phrase in the entire franchise because of how lazy it is, but, for the most part, the dialogue feels like it comes from real human beings in this book. The dialogue doesn't feel that shallow and annoying anymore. This just feels like a much more solid read than the previous three books.įor one thing, Dashner's writing style isn't that bad this time around.
