I've got whatever the fifth book is on hand and will read it here soon. I don't know that character development is James Dashner's strong suit, but at least in The Kill Order, there wasn't the Glade's made-up language like in the other two books. They weren't bad but just weren't particularly fascinating. They were prominent in the story but could have been replaced with really any characters, and it would have had the same effect. Mark and Trina felt a lot like place holders. Alec probably had the most personality in the story. I didn't really feel particularly attached to any of the characters.

Because in this new, devastated world, every life has a price. And they're determined to find it-if they can stay alive. Mark and Trina are convinced there's a way to save those left living from descending into madness. Worse yet, it's mutating, and all evidence suggests that it will bring humanity to its knees. Now a disease of rage and lunacy races across the eastern United States, and there's something suspicious about its origin. But surviving the sun flares was easy compared to what came next.


Mark and Trina were there when it happened, and they survived. Goodreads Summary: Before WICKED was formed, before the Glade was built, before Thomas entered the Maze, sun flares hit the earth and mankind fell to disease.
