I preferred the original "Maze Runner" series to this prequel, as I had high hopes for this book and it fell very short. This book took a long time for me to finish reading, about 2 weeks, when I read all 3 original "Maze Runner" books in 1 and a half weeks. The reason it took me so long to read is simple: "The Kill Order" didn't captivate me like the other three books did. I don't think that the plot was as well thought out for this book as for the others, and it had too much action. Having some action is good, and it is of course required for a series such as this one, but this specific book just had too much of it. As well, even though it was extremely action-packed, "The Kill Order" seemingly moved at a very slow pace. I personally prefer medium-paced and medium-action books rather than having these two qualities off-balance. However, one part I did like about this book that I personally think is better than in the others in this series is the dreams/flashbacks that Mark has. I found it interesting to read those parts, because they were at a good pace and were intriguing.
