I quite liked all the new characters too, Raven, Tack, Hunter. It was actually pretty brutal out there, and with the addition of Scavengers (Invalids that attack just for kicks) it became even harder to survive out there.

As cool as I thought it would be, living in the Wilds, it ended up not being the 'paradise' that I was expecting. In Delirium we didn't really get to experience the Wilds too much and that was something I was really looking forward to in this book.

After a while, though, and getting to know his character more, he grew on me, but of course, before it got more than that, the ending got in the way of everything (as expressed in the mini review above).ДЄn aspect of the book I really enjoyed was Lena's life in the Wilds. I don't know if it was just lack of being around females that made him act this way (and trust me I go to an all girls school and whenever a person of the opposite walks by, my beloved classmates throw themselves at him) or what, but I was pretty skeptical of him at first. The love interest, Julian, would say weird things like, 'your hair smells like roses' or 'your waist is so small' (yes), that not only creeped Lena out, but creeped me out too. Also, at times, I felt that their relationship was a little forced. It might be because he, for me, was a little naive or it could be plainly just because he wasn't Alex. I have to admit though, I did kind of dislike Lena's new love interest. If that is enough for you to run away screaming from this book, by all means, do, but let me just tell you now, you are missing out on a hell of a lot of goodies if you do that. I also know that a lot of you didn't really like the fact that Lena is 'allegedly' going to fall in love with someone other than Alex, and I'm sorry to tell you guys, but that fact is true. So I definitely think of her as part of the 'kick-ass heroine' club now. I definitely saw more of Lena in action scenes (and winning) in this book than in the previous. She even is deemed strong enough by her fellow rebels to be part of the resistance. Now without all those regulations and boundaries, Lena was able to unleash her inner survivalist, which wasn't a very easy thing to do, after all that she's been through. But in Pandemonium, I feel that she definitely redeemed herself. I know that in Delirium, a number of people didn't find Lena that 'kick-ass' heroine that we all love (in her defense, all those rules would scare me too, into rebelling). In Pandemonium, Lena is having to survive in the Wilds with her new friends, is having to prove herself worthy to be in the resistance, and is having to forget the boy who made her rebel in the first place, infected her, Alex.
