The Maze Runner Trilogy | Kindle

The Maze Runner Trilogy by James Dashner book covers.

I've been waiting to read this trilogy for so long. I read lots of reviews and heard a few good ones on YouTube as well. But they were not available on Kindle and I couldn't afford the Audiobook price, so I had to wait. 


We had to wait.. practically a year, for Amazon to release these three titles on Kindle format. Frustrating. The paperback editions for The Maze Runner, (book 1) and The Scorch Trials, (book 2) both came out on August 4th 2011 while the final in the series The Death Cure was released in April of this year. 


I'm really, really hoping that The Kill Order, the prequel to this series, that comes out this month in hardback, isn't going to be a repeat performance. 


I understand that it's all to do with publishing rights and such but it's really frustrating to sit and wait, when you know that it's very likely the original book was written on a computer, and therefore is already digital, besides which I know they were eGalley's on NetGalley, but naturally, you had to be a US Librarian to get your hands on them, especially The Kill Order. Still, I don't think it's fair to make readers wait to read your books, one of the main reasons for selling books is to see big sale numbers, so getting them out on all formats at the same time would seem logical, right? It can be done and I've seen it done.


Anyway, If you've read this series let me know if it's worth all the hype and the wait, and if you haven't, now's your chance! 


I've downloaded the free chapter samples and I'm already intrigued by the first book. 


Happy Reading.
