The sequel to DELIRIUM is a fast-paced futuristic story of revolution against a society that, via a surgical procedure, bans all emotion. Narrator Sarah Drew perfectly captures Lena Morgan Jones’s confusion as she awakens in a colony of caring outcasts. Drew also portrays the changes Lena goes through as she is drawn into undercover work against the DFA (Delira-Free America) and, ironically, into a passionate relationship with the founder’s son. Drew’s characterizations are vivid, and her narrative pacing is exquisite, especially in the chase scenes, battles, and moments of forbidden romance. With clarity she transitions between Lena’s days in the wild and those in the controlled world. The story ends with a great setup for the final volume in the trilogy: REQUIEM.

It's been six months since readers first met 17-year-old Lena Haloway, desperately in love in a world that considers such feelings an infection to be permanently and irrevocably "cured." This much-anticipated sequel to Delirium (2011) picks up right where the first novel left off, with Lena and Alex's only partially successful attempt to escape to "the Wilds." Lena, alone, heartbroken and near death, must reach deep within herself to find the strength and the will to survive. "Step by step--and then, inch by inch," she is reborn. The story of Lena's new life as a rebel Invalid, determined to honor the memory of Alex by fighting for a world in which love is no longer considered a capital offense, is told through a series of flashbacks and present-day accounts that will leave readers breathless. The stakes only get higher when Lena realizes she has feelings for someone new. The novel's success can be attributed to its near pitch-perfect combination of action and suspense, coupled with the subtler but equally gripping evolution of Lena's character. 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. (Dystopian romance. 14 & up)
