## Description

The second book in Lauren Oliver’s remarkable New York Times bestselling trilogy about forbidden love, revolution, and the power to choose. In this electrifying follow-up to Delirium, Lena is on a dangerous course that takes her through the unregulated Wilds and into the heart of a growing resistance movement. This riveting, brilliant novel crackles with the fire of fierce defiance, romance, and the sparks of a revolution about to ignite.

Review: BRILLIANT - Read this and other reviews at [...] First - if you haven't read Delirium, stop what you're doing and go buy this book IMMEDIATELY. Oh, and stop reading this review. While it doesn't have spoilers per se, you need to read book 1, before you starting reading reviews for book 2. So quit getting ahead of yourself. And go read Delirium. Now. In terms of Pandemonium, there's really only word that comes to mind: BRILLIANT. This story was so different from Delirium, in the best ways possible, but it was no less amazing. I was still left completely floored. Even now a couple days later, I can't stop thinking about this book and it's basically killing me to not be able to read Requiem right now. The second I finished Delirium, I got on desertcart and downloaded Pandemonium. There was no chance I was going to be able to wait to see what happened. I NEEDED ANSWERS. This book is so much different because it's told in the "then" and the "now." The "now" is 6 months later after Lena has been in the Wilds and built a new life for herself entirely...in New York. When I first started reading, I thought I would really hate the "now" because I just wanted the old Lena back, and in fact, I just wanted Delirium back entirely. If you've read it...then you KNOW what I'm talking about. I just wanted to go back in time and fix it all. So at first, I felt like a petulant child stomping my feet, saying, "but I don't care what she's doing NOW, go back to THEN." I was sad, sometimes to the point of crying, at any mention of Alex, and I just didn't know how I could even come to like this story. But I did. So much. {{We all need mantras, I guess-stories we tell ourselves to keep us going.}} Without giving too much away, Lena was found in the Wilds - after her escape from Portland - by a girl named Raven. She goes back to their homestead and spends quite a bit of time recovering...from running over 60 miles before she almost died. She's not sure she even wants to be alive anymore. After the escape. After Alex. She just doesn't know how she'll go on. But Raven demands it of her. And in time, Lena gets stronger and learns to survive in the Wilds - and learns about joining the movement. In the "now" portions of the story, we see Lena integrated into life in New York City, as a "cured" - while really serving as almost a double agent against the DFA (Deliria Free America) - against the President of the organization, Thomas Fineman - and his son, the leader of the youth division Julian. During a DFA Rally, an attack takes place by Scavengers - uncureds who are just out of their freaking minds. This is where the story gets CRAZY. And I can't say anything about it. It must all be experienced firsthand, because it will blow you away. I will say, I REALLY did not want to like Julian. At all. But I couldn't help it. He grew on me. And even though it felt wrong and like I was cheating on my beloved Alex, I couldn't help but fall for Julian. Just a little. He's still not Alex. But he works for me, as Julian. {{It occurs to me, then, that people themselves are full of tunnels: winding, dark spaces and caverns; impossible to know all the places inside of them. Impossible even to imagine.}} There were so many unanswered questions at the end of Delirium - regarding Alex, Lena's mother, Lena's fate. All of it. There are plenty of questions answered during Pandemonium, but at the same time, there are just as many questions raised. Never did I feel like this was the typical filler book in the series, which is usually how second books can feel. There was just enough tension and bomb dropping, that just when I thought I could take a break, I would find myself 5 more chapters in, and completely enthralled. Lauren is such a magnificently skilled writer, in the sense that she knows how to dangle that carrot and make you complacently hop along, having NO idea you're about to have your world rocked. This could not be more true for even the last 7-8 pages of Pandemonium. OMG. Of course, this was a 5 star read for me. Again, the storyline was completely captivating and the characters were just as amazing as ever. I loved the introduction of all the supporting characters Lena met while living in the Wilds. Of course, meeting Julian and figuring out a part of his story. I literally CANNOT wait until March for Requiem to be released. While the title makes me incredibly nervous, I'm still looking forward to seeing how the series wraps up. Although, I will certainly be sad to see it end. I still have to read the couple novellas that are out as well, Hana and Annabel. I know that Raven is also being released on the same day as Requiem. I look forward to getting into these ladies' heads a bit more too. And just getting to experience more of this world. And Lauren's writing. If you haven't read these yet, PLEASE do yourself the greatest favor, and pick them up. Even if you don't like dystopian. Or young adult. I beg of you. You will be forever changed. {{In approved places, every story serves a purpose. But forbidden books are so much more. Some of them are webs; you can feel your way along their threads, but just barely into strange and dark corners. Some of them are balloons bobbing up through the sky: totally self-contained, and unreachable, but beautiful to watch. And some of them-the best ones-are doors.}}
Review: Beautifully written - Title: Pandemonium Author: Lauren Oliver Rating: 4 Stars My Review: First let me apologize for the voraciousness of my reads compared to the snails pace at which I review them. Yes, I read this the day after Delirium...but it's only just now that I am getting to review it. If you read my review for Delirium, you will find that most of my impressions still hold true for this sequel in the trilogy. To sum up...Oliver's prose is beautiful, poetic, and haunting. The story is good and the romance enjoyable. But at times I still long (personally) for more of the science in this nefarious world. As well as the political backstory. With that being said, let's get to my specific thoughts on this book. Title - ??? Not that it really matters but I really couldn't get Pandemonium out of it. Maybe? I don't know. Yes, the dystopian world is unraveling (as all good book 2 dystopian worlds must), but I'm not sure if it really fit. I can say that this is really a nit pick because it didn't affect my perception of the story. Julian - For someone who was never allowed to be around boys for the better part of her life, Lena is sure quick to develop strong attachments to them. :) So I won't give any spoilers except to say that Lena is thrown together with a boy whose father is basically the bad-guy-in-chief of this world. It is Julian's father that is pushing for everyone to be cured, even Julian, with full knowledge that the cure could kill his son. In other words, daddy is definitely a world-class ****. Lena's kind heart is moved by Julian's predicament and over time he goes through the same awakening that she went through with Alex. At first of course you are like, 'what are you doing?? Alex just died!' And you are crazy? But then you think about the fact that Alex was not from their world and never felt the same loss as part of the awakening process. In this way Julian and Lena have a lot more in common and you can understand why they would draw together. And to be fair to the human experience, Lena believes Alex to be dead and she's grieving. It's not unheard of to fall into another's arms as part of the response to that grief. In the end, I forgave her. Ending - Again, without any spoilers, I saw the very end coming a mile away. The whole story away actually. Did that kill the surprise? Yes. But is it a good ending regardless? Also yes. Oliver set you up for some SERIOUS Pandemonium in book three. Mom - In the end, I do feel that Lena's connection to her mother is the real pivotal piece of the story. Many reviewers focus on her romances with Alex and Julian, but for me her real heart is in finding out why her mother didn't come back for her. If she just didn't love her enough. Lena has experienced a lot of heartbreak and survived terrible ordeals, but she knows a mother's love when she sees it...in Raven, with her love for Blue. Raven isn't even Blue's real mother and she loves her fiercely and desperately. In fact Raven gave up everything in her own society (though her life did totally suck) in order to save Blue's life. I think that the theme of mothers and daughters is what I find most compelling and I look forward to that resolution in book three. Structure - As an author, I found the structure of this novel to be incredibly interesting and impressive. It is told all from Lena's perspective, but using two different 'Then' and 'Now' timelines. I doubted it at times and lost myself a WEE bit, but ultimately I think she pulled it off and I enjoyed the point when the two timelines finally streamed together like tributaries. It was an interesting and risky choice and showed me how much Oliver has honed her craft. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys dystopians that are very literary in feel. It's not going to have a lot of science or apocalyptic detail like some dystopians, but the character story is the true heart of this trilogy and that is excellent.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I LOVED every bit of Pandemonium
*by J***I on December 9, 2013*

I’ll admit, as a HUGE fan of Lauren Oliver’s BEFORE I FALL, I was a bit disappointed when I read her second YA book, DELIRIUM. While I had difficulty getting through the vast majority of that book, the final chapter did provide a nice look at what its follow up, PANDEMONIUM, would potentially have to offer. Even still, due to the snooze-fest that was Delirium, I started Pandemonium with very, very low expectations – hold on to only the slightest of hopes that it would match the genius that was Before I Fall. Suffice to say, the book and its story rose above and beyond my wildest hopes. I LOVED every bit of Pandemonium. Her second venture into the world of amor delira nervosa once again places Lauren Oliver near the top of my list of favorite YA authors. Plot: 9 One could say that Pandemonium takes off right where Delirium left us, Lena is lost and alone in the Wilds. But then you move on to chapter two and realize that you have just jumped ahead from “then”, the time when Lena in the Wilds, to “now”, events occurring approximately 6 months in the future after Lena has spent some time in the Wilds. I fully appreciated these two time frames being told parallel to each other, from one chapter to the next, because it provided additional character growth and exposition, as well as a heightened sense of action, story development and the impact that the story has on the reader. In this installment we learn quite a bit about the people who live in the Wilds, how Lena handles the events that occurred at the end of Delirium, as well as what happens to her after. So much happens in this book, that to say more would just spoil what’s in store for you. Just know that by the end of this book, Lena will be a different character entirely and you will have learned quite a bit about the world in which she lives. Characters: 9 While I was actually somewhat bored by all the characters in Delirium, Lena and Alex included, I cannot say the same about the characters in this book. I now have grown to LOVE Lena thanks to Pandemonium, and I felt her anguish, confusion and pain every step of the way. I would say that, as far as character growth goes, Lena’s is one of the best examples of what you should see in fiction. Every event that she is put through alters her in some way, she makes choices and has to live with the consequences, and she knows there is no returning to who she was in Delirium. There are also a number of secondary characters introduced in this book and each of them has a story to tell. The exposition of these characters is superb, and again the use of the “then” and “now” accounts for a lot in how you feel about them. I loved them all, yes, every single one of them. Well, except for one group of people that we learn about, but the reasons for that is for you to find out yourself. Setting: 10 Yay! Lena is finally in the Wilds! And what a much more interesting place it is to see than the Valid cities. We learn about the poor living conditions that the Invalids are forced into, migrating from place to place, just to stay safe and unseen. We are taken on a trip in the Wilds during the winter, where I felt the bitter cold along with Lena. We also return to the world of the Valids, only this time in NYC. I appreciate all the information Lauren provided us about the world in this installment. By providing us with more background/world information, she moves the story forward quite a bit. Also, this novel is much darker than Delirium in both mood/tone and setting; the setting appropriately plays a big part in this. Pacing: 10 There is something to be said about a book that is, essentially, telling two stories in one, while at the very same time managing to keep the pacing of the overall story on track. Pandemonium accomplishes telling two stories: One is about Lena and her very first experiences in the Wilds. In this story you join her as she adapts to her strange, new world. And the other is about Lena and her experiences as a “new” Lena. In this story she is part of an Invalid mission inside New York City. One of these stories is told slowly while the other one races through time at breakneck speed. Some may be jarred by the jumping back and forward between “then” and “now”, but I found it rather enjoyable. In my opinion, and in contrast to Delirium, there is never a dull moment in Pandemonium. Style: 9 I don’t need to repeat what I just said above about pacing. I will only add that along with the two stories being told about “then” and “now”, these individual time periods are woven together and plotted in such a way that common themes are shared between the two at the same time in the book. This (IMO) makes the transition back and forth between the two time periods more seamless and allows the story to have greater impact on the reader. I really can’t go on about how ingenious it was for Lauren to tell her tale in such a way. I only took one point off for the occasional use of foul language in this book. Oh my. Lena! Watch your mouth! (Yay! Prudish mommy strikes again!) I am so grateful to Fire and Ice for allowing me to be part of their ARC Tour for Pandemonium. If it were not for their tour I may not have given Pandemonium a try. What a wonderful adventure I would have missed if I had passed this one up! Lauren Oliver, you are most definitely back on my A-list!
