The Jimmy Fincher Saga #2 / 4
by James Dashner
A Gift of Ice (The Jimmy Fincher Saga #2) by James Dashner
Unrated

A Gift of Ice continues the fantastic journey for truth that began withA Door in the Woods and will become a four-volume series. The series has been enjoyed by readers of all ages, but it has particularly been a big hit with teenage readers.

Jimmy Fincher cannot be destroyed. In an impossible place under A Door in the Woods, Jimmy received the first of The Four Gifts - contributions of a mysterious and desperate people trying to save the world from an enemy unprecedented in ruthlessness. Not much is known about this enemy, or what their purposes may be. But a haunting phrase has been spoken as a warning. The Stompers are coming. Having temporarily sealed the entrance to the Black Curtain - that strange portal from whence the Stompers will come - Jimmy has fled to Japan with his family in search of The Second Gift, with only scant clues as their guide. Peril will be inescapable, mysteries will abound. Nothing can be assumed, and help will be found in the least likely of places.

The weight of the world will fall upon Jimmy. He is not a wizard. He is not a mutant. He is not a genius. He is far more powerful. He is Jimmy Fincher.

James Dashner

James Dashner

James Dashner is the kind of author who thrives on the edge of uncertainty, crafting stories that keep readers on the edge of their seats. Best known for The Maze Runner series, Dashner’s work explores high-stakes survival in dystopian worlds, where nothing is as it seems and every twist challenges both his characters and his audience. His ability to weave complex plots with relentless action has made him a key figure in the young adult dystopian genre.

Born and raised in the Rocky Mountains of Georgia, Dashner’s early love of adventure and puzzles began to influence his writing style. With a deep affinity for stories that push boundaries and explore the human spirit in the face of impossible odds, his works ask: What would you do when the world around you turns against you?

The Maze Runner series, with its tense atmosphere, memorable characters, and mind-bending puzzles, has captured the imaginations of millions worldwide. The trilogy’s exploration of memory loss, friendship, survival, and the unknown has earned Dashner widespread acclaim, as well as a dedicated fanbase. And it’s not just the books that have made an impact—The Maze Runner was adapted into a successful film series, further cementing Dashner's status in popular culture.

But Dashner's storytelling doesn’t stop at dystopia. His other works, such as The Mortality Doctrine series, explore similar themes of technology, consciousness, and human interaction, adding new layers to his ever-expanding universe. His writing is grounded in suspense, filled with unpredictable twists, and often challenges readers to question the nature of reality itself.

With a background in business and a love of puzzles and riddles, Dashner’s approach to writing is methodical yet unpredictable—creating intricate, fast-paced worlds that challenge both his characters and readers to think critically. It’s his ability to mix the thrill of adventure with the tension of psychological conflict that makes his stories resonate with fans long after the last page is turned.

Dashner once said, "I want to take readers on a ride, make them feel as if they are on the edge of their seats, unable to escape until the very last word." In doing so, he’s created worlds that not only captivate the mind but also explore the heart—examining survival, identity, and what it means to be human in an ever-changing world.

From the labyrinths of the Maze Runner to the complex simulations of The Mortality Doctrine, Dashner's books continue to challenge, thrill, and inspire.
