Like all successful second volumes, this expands the world and ups the stakes, setting us up for the big finale.” - Booklist “This is a romance in the purest of senses, where just the longing for the faintest taste of love is worth the greatest of risks. “From the grief-stricken shell of her former self to a nascent refugee and finally to a full-fledged resistance fighter, Lena’s strength and the complexity of her internal struggles will keep readers up at night.” - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) She received a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from New York University.

If you haven't read Lauren Oliver before, I give her a very good recommendation. I simply cannot live with myself not knowing what will happen! Lauren Oliver, how can you do this to us?! Now I am on pins and needles waiting for book three. It really keeps you guessing throughout the whole book.Īnd the ending, oh, the ending. I love how nothing in Lena's world is as it seems. I loved the plot twists: there were two that I really didn't see coming, and they added a lot of depth to the story. She morphs from a coddled girl who can't take care of herself to a (sorry to say this, but I have to) Katniss Everdeen-like character who always stands up for herself and does what has to be done to survive. That is the pull of Lauren Oliver's writing: she just draws you in and you feel everything the characters are feeling. I felt all of her highs and lamented during her low points. I was riding the wave of Lena's emotions right along with her. (End spoiler).Īs much as Pandemonium is action-packed, it is also an emotional thrill ride. (Plot spoiler for book one): Alex gave his life to save her and she keeps going on, even though she doesn't want to, to honor his sacrifice. She has been forced to grow up by the events at the end of Delirium. In Pandemonium, she is a totally different person. She eventually grows and changes, but it is a slow process. In Delirium, Lena was still a product of the Society's twisted thinking. I really didn't know how I could like Pandemonium more than Delirium (read my review of Delirium here), but I did.
