Michael completed the Path. What he found at the end turned everything he'd ever known about his life completely upside down. He thought he'd been helping VirtNet Security to track down the cyber-terrorist Kaine. He thought the VirtNet would be safe for gamers once more. But the truth is more terrifying than he could ever have imagined. Kaine is in fact a Tangent, a computer program that has come alive. And Kaine's master plan is to populate the earth entirely with human bodies harbouring Tangent minds. Unless Michael can stop him ... From the New York Times bestselling author of the Maze Runner series comes The Rule of Thoughts, the exciting sequel to The Eye of Minds. Fans of the Divergent series by Veronica Roth and The Hunger Games will love the new Mortality Doctrine series.

2 stars

Felt like read the first book of the trilogy again. The same mistakes, the same inexpressive characters that you don't cheer for... James Dashner is completely addicted in cliffhangers and unfortunately this is not a accomplishment. The world building is so weak, the challenges faced by the trio don't generate a learning curve. Dashner always try to shock and impress the reader with SO obvious things, senteces full of cliché. It's embarrassing!
There's a great potencial on Dashner's criativity and writing but he could try to develop characters. Make them more human, give them personality and stereotype less (I'm trying not to say "be less machist" but It's a little hard). They do things with no reason compatible with the few impressions given to us. Bryson is USELESS in whole book. Sarah seems a frankstein made of pieces of every female character found in the YA literature. Michael is boring, …

Sarah seems a frankstein made of pieces of every female character found in the YA literature. Michael is boring, stupid and seems to see Sarah only, always making less of Bryson to show how much he cares about her. It's almost comic think this as envolved mind.
Was hard to read this book, It's tiring pass through the same problems which made you hate the first one. This one was no better, no worse. So generic even though to classify.
