So, while I was reading this I kept getting it confused with the other dystopian YA novels I've read in the last year, like Matched and Divergent. About three or four chapters in, I realized that I had actually enjoyed Delirium, unlike both Matched and Divergent, and had myself a decent time. Also, it helped that the novel got more exciting.
Um, I thought the romance with Julian was really well done and obviously Romeo-and-Juliet-like, especially since his dad is like LEADER OF THE CURED or whatever. But maybe I just totally buy into the trope of falling-in-love-with-your-fellow-hostage. Whatever the case was, I thoroughly enjoyed myself, and actually did not see the ending coming! I was too into the Julian-and-Lena plot, I think. But, um, wtf??? I'm of the general mind that characters who die should stay dead, and this seems like ALEX II: REVENGE OF THE ALEX. Clearly he is not the same Alex as before. I think I'm just going to call him Darth Alex from now on, since that is what he seems to be.
Baaaaaasically, I think Lena and Julian should get it on and Darth Alex should get stabbed for the cause or something, and I can't believe this turned into a freaking love triangle -- one of the characters should be DEAD for god's sake. I'M SO FUCKING SICK OF LOVE TRIANGLES IN THESE BOOKS. I guess the third book will be Lena trying to figure out who she loves more! The reanimated, apparently evil corpse of her ex-boyfriend or New Hot Boyfriend! I suppose I'll be reading it.

I was SUPER not into the chapters where Lena was talking about "then", like what she did after she left Portland. I think it was okay at first, when she was describing her first month or so in the Wild, but then it got rapidly boring and dismal. I was way more into the "now" plot -- her living in New York, undercover, and getting kidnapped and that love affair with Julian, WHICH I AM TOTALLY INTO. HIT THAT, LENA. HE IS WAYYYY BETTER THAN ALEX.Um, I thought the romance with Julian was really well done and obviously Romeo-and-Juliet-like, especially since his dad is like LEADER OF THE CURED or whatever.

I enjoyed this one more than the first, which is unusual for a sequel. Looking forward to the final book!!
Loved this book! Honestly, this series is going to be so good! I can just tell!
The first book was intriging, the second as well...and then they leave you hanging and you're just like "Whaaat! omg!" atleast..I was lol
I seriously want to read the third book..NOW!
But..i'll have to wait!
Definantly books to own tho!

Started off strong but weak ending. I hate when authors bail on a great ending in the second book of a trilogy at the sake of setting up the third. The lesson of Empire Strikes Back should be taught to all aspiring writers - the second could be the best!

She’s 18 and in a love triangle lmao.
I really hate how they were like “oh and this guy showed up from crypts” and this guy is ALEX. TBH, I’ll probably revise this after the 3rd book because they *hopefully* will elaborate more about his escape
Solid 4 star book.
Omg that ending! Omg. I don't know why I didn't see it coming but wow. Got to read requiem right now.
The book was really nice :) loved reading about the wilds and another city. The new characters where great, really liked them. Lena is awesome.
