Blah. Blah. Blah. - Even though I love Alex this was about nothing. After reading Requiem I hoped for some answers. How did he find her? How did he feel about Lena and Julian? Where he went after he left them in the woods? What happened after the end of Requiem!
Maybe I can love Alex but this novel was needless.

Thank you so much. But unfortunately no. I've read this after finishing the trilogy. 😥 No answers at all.

Haha, I know, right! When I was rewriting this review, I realised that I do not remember much about this series. I remember Delirium pretty well. Then some things from Pandemonium but then? Nada.
But I loved Alex so much, especially in Delirium. Unfortunately, the series went downhill for me then. I like to pretend that Delirium is actually standalone. 😂

Really? Ok well that's not good at all!! I guess all I can say now is that I wish you totally forget it all so the questions don't haunt you! 😂😂😂
I'd also suggests digging some online discussions. God knows sometimes people come up with answers that the author herself didn't! It's amusing really 😂

When I was reading Delirium, I didn't know it was part of the series. I was very sad at the end but it worked well as a standalone. I think I actually dnf Pandemonium.

I think I knew that. In my country the publishing houses usually do a good job at pointing it out that it is a series.
I adore Delirium, it's fabulous book and thankfully it works great as a standalone. But it rips your heart apart.
I finished Pandemonium. We read it together with a friend, a chapter per day. And then we met to read the last chapter or maybe several. And we took turns reading it aloud. However, it was really bad. And Requiem did not manage to turn it around.

When I was younger, I've read a lot of first books in a series thinking they are standalones because only the first books were translated. I don't know who came up with this stupid idea. It's different now but some 10 years ago series were apparently not popular here or what LOL

Unfortunately from this series I liked only Delirium but at least I liked it so much that it's in my top 10.
And agreed Raven was the only really good novella.

Haha, I know, right! W..."
The problem I had when I was still reading translated books was that they published book 1 or maybe book 2 but then they decided that the sales were not good enough and did not publish the rest of the series.


It really is. And I honestly LOVED Delirium so much. But Pandemonium and Requiem both were very disappointing for me. Tell me about a great series which went downhill.


I actually hid Pandemonium and Requiem, and I pretend that Delirium is standalone with heartbreaking ending.
I don't know what happened if it was meant to be stand alone or trilogy. Or if the publisher pushed her to write more and she did not plan the story past the first book... But, it did not go well.

I actually do think she intended it to be one book. :|
