I only need to be faster than you


A digital loan from the library came up so I'm now currently reading PANDEMONIUM by Lauren Oliver. This is 2nd of her Delirium Trilogy. Here is a description:
The book follows up the events of Delirium and Lena is now in the Wilds. Unfortunately for her, the Wilds aren't as wonderful as she had thought. While she is now free of the cure, she and her acquaintances decide that they must do the same for everyone else and restore society to its former state. This is easier said than done, as Lena and her group have much standing in their way. The book also follows Lena in her life while she lives in New York City with two other characters from the Wilds. She is part of the DFA, the Deliria Free America, and during one of their rallies, she is kidnapped by other Invalids, called Scavengers, and held in captive with Julian Fineman, the leader of the youth division of the DFA. With the memory of Alex's sacrifice in mind, she navigates her way out of the place she is held captive with Julian, and slowly begins to fall in love with him.

Published in 2012, it has 384 pages. The first book, now, feels like a very big set up for the "resistance" side of the story.  And it is absorbing enough that I may not be able to wait to read the third one. We'll see.

Much love,
