series: Delirium Trilogy, book 2
Pandemonium is the sequel to Lauren Oliver's Delirium and the second in an expected trilogy. I was disappointed by Delirium when I read it last year (see post), but that didn't keep me from feeling like I needed to reread it before I sent my copy (along with a bunch of other books) off to live with Russell's voracious-reader sister. I hadn't been planning on continuing with the series, but given the fact that I was rereading Delirium, I decided to put myself on the library waiting list Pandemonium.
And, I'm glad that I did because I liked Pandemonium better than Delirium. Again in Pandemonium I was unhappy with how the romance played out.1 But, Oliver gives us a lot more information about the society in this second installment. There's more menace and suffering and because of that Pandemonium works much better as a dystopian novel.
- This is vague and unspecific, but it's still a bit of a spoiler so continue with the footnotes at your own risk.
SPOILER - And we have a love triangle to look forward to in book three, ugh.
