FLARE ABOVE, MAZE BELOW.

Sadina and the islanders are up against both man and nature as they navigate their way to Alaska. There, they hope to meet the mysterious Godhead, unsure of what separates myth from truth. But the Godhead, now led by Alexandra, is fractured. Within the cracks of their sacred trinity, secrets are revealed that blur the lines of good and evil forever.

After a devastating discovery, Isaac and Sadina are forced to split up. Minho holds the rest of the group together, but it's his beliefs that are slowly falling apart. What once drove Minho to join his sworn enemies is causing him to question everything. When Sadina finds a clue in The Book of Newt, her mission to meet the Godhead becomes even stronger. Isaac and Old Man Frypan come across an enigmatic traveler and learn that the cure isn't what it once was. They are shaken to the core when they realize that the immunes aren't as immune as they should be, and the world as a whole is evolving in a dangerous new direction.

In Alaska, The Godhead and the sacred site of the Maze face something that no generation of Pilgrims before them has ever witnessed. Beliefs will change, futures will be rewritten, and not even the Godhead knows what will happen next.

      The Flare virus continues to exact a heavy price, as multiple characters discover in this sequel to Maze Cutter (2022). In a mosaic assemblage of short or multipart chapters that series readers will tolerate without frustration, Dashner sends groups (including no fewer than seven point-of-view characters) on various quests. As Ximena heads north from her Baja village in hopes of finding her tardy mother, escapees from the island of immunes reach the coast and split up so that Sadina can get her ominously sick mom to Villa doctors. Meanwhile, Minho and others make their way to the opener's titular ship and then on to Alaska to kill (or maybe join) the sacerdotal trio dubbed the Godhead. Meanwhile, said Godhead--Nicholas, Alexandra, and Mikhail--is down to two, as one is left as a decapitated head in a glass box, and the survivors wrestle with different flavors of creeping madness. Presaged by encounters with corpses and the odd stabbing, a horrific medical procedure, and a climactic battle with an army of diseased, zombielike Cranks, the unwieldy company is scattered and on the run: Stay tuned for more rousingly icky developments. The main cast largely reads white, with the exceptions of Ximena, Minho, and Frypan, a long-continuing character who has aged here into Old Man Frypan and was previously described as dark-skinned. Crowded and pointillistic: still readable but best for confirmed fans. (Dystopian. 12-18)
