Pandemonium is written by best-selling author Lauren Oliver. It is the sequel to her book Delirium.
Alex is gone. The words seem to echo through the weak, empty shell that is Lena's body when she awakens in the wild. She has been saved, but her desire for life is gone. Alex is gone.
In the weeks after her escape, Lena must work hard to rebuild herself and carve out a place in her strange new world, making new friends and learning to trust once again. As a new Lena grows from the ashes of the old, she decides to help others find their way into a world filled with love and freedom. But the stakes are high when she returns to the world of walls and rules. Someone is always watching and Lena finds herself caught up in a tangled web of lies that threatens to turn her world upside down again.
Lauren Oliver is a beautiful writer. She easily weaves together a vivid world that makes her stories compelling. Her characters have good depth and perspective that make them easy to connect to as well as unique. And the themes that run through her books are thought provoking.
I have to say that I really enjoyed Pandemonium though it left me feeling a bit conflicted. I won't say why. You'll have to read the book to find out for yourself. But I'm very excited to see where Lauren Oliver takes the final book, Requiem, that is due out early next year. That story is going to make or break the series for me, so I'm hoping Oliver rises to the occasion and give us something spectacular. If she keeps in line with the first two books then the third will no doubt be amazing. I, for one, have got my fingers crossed.
