Pandemonium is the second book in the "Delirium trilogy" by Lauren Oliver. Sometimes I think authors get a little lazy in the second book, saving all the good storylines for the finale, but not so in this book. Lena has finally escaped into the wilds, beyond the fence where she is rescued by a small group of resistors. This story is told in alternating chapters "then" and "now", showing her transformation from a weak, grief-stricken refugee to a full-fledged resistance fighter. I thought the characters in this book were much more interesting and Lena has survived some tragedies that have made her stronger and given her a reason to fight. Of course, we are introduced to Julian, the son of the "pro-cure" leader of the society and although very predictable, by the end of the book there is a romance between the two. This is book for those readers that like a little romance in their action adventure dystopia!
