Two years ago, I read the first instalment of the Delirium trilogy, Delirium, which I initially enjoyed but I later thought it as only okay after picking out the flaws. Two years later, I couldn't delay any longer. It was time to read the next part of the series: Pandemonium. The ratings were high, but in the end, Pandemonium underwhelmed me.

It starts (more like continues) with a character that needs no introduction, Lena, picking up after the events of Delirium, living in a new society away from the dystopia that is America. Speaking of, the worldbuilding is baffling to comprehend. All the government did is ban love. What for? The government allows everything else except love. It doesn't sound like a plausible dystopian world to me. Nothing happens in the first 300 pages save for Lena residing in her new residence. However, the last 40 pages quicken the pace as the government attacks the Wilds, but that begs the question: how did the government not know about the Wilds until the events of Pandemonium happened? I don't understand. It's not clear. The conclusion is shocking and finishes on a cliffhanger, but I'm undecided on whether I should read the final part, Requiem.

I can't do it. I read about 1/3 of the book and I can't continue. Perhaps I'll pick it up again and try to read it another time, when I'm desperate for something to read. The story, in a word, sucks. The only thing I am happy about is the fact that I caught this on discount and only paid $2.99 for it.

Summary: Set in a small town, "Panic" follows a group of graduating seniors who participate in an underground game called Panic. With high stakes and dangerous challenges, contestants compete for a prize that could change their lives. The premise is intriguing, offering the potential for an intense exploration of fear and courage.


Pros:
