Delirium by Susan Kaye Quinn
4.0
I'm very happy with this serial so far. I read the first three in the collected edition and couldn't wait to get my hands on the next set. The story is very fun and addictive. Each edition has a defined story, much like a tv show. This is not just a novel broken up into chunks and that's the reason I like it so much. So, without even getting into the details of the story that's plenty of reasons to read it.
As far as the story goes, I really like the concept of debt collectors moving life force around from the dying to the people who can use it more. It introduces all sorts of fun moral grey areas and really makes you think. Lirium isn't really the most original character ever. He's the pretty typical naive, stubborn, young guy with a penchant for being soft-hearted, but I like him anyway. The other characters have pretty cool back-stories that it's fun to discover while Lirium tries to puzzle out their motivations.
I'd recommend it to pretty much anyone who would enjoy a read that is paced like a good sci-fi/drama television show.
