Teenage
Lena is growing up in an alternative contemporary America, where love has
been declared a disease by the government. In the first novel of the series, Delirium,
Lena met and fell in love with Alex, a young Invalid (a person who has
refused to take the 'cure') just before she is due to face treatment. Pandemonium
continues her story: Lena has escaped from Portland into the Wilds, where
Invalids live; she assumes has been killed. There is an immediacy and
pace to the narrative, though note this is the middle in a trilogy, so it
ends on a cliffhanger. MORE >
