Raven (Delirium, #2.5)
Lauren Oliver
femaelstrom wrote a review...
I liked this, but considering how much I’ve been loving the main series, I had higher expectations for this novella, especially since it tells Lena’s mother’s story.
Throughout Delirium, Annabel is cloaked in mystique through Lena’s eyes. She feels ethereal, almost otherworldly, defined by a love so fierce and absolute it borders on immortality. Immune to the cure, she is a constant source of tragedy but also of uncontainable, wild emotion. Bigger than life, unforgettable.
Of course, once you step into her POV, some of that grandeur is bound to fall away. Seeing her as a real person, with flaws, fears, and doubts, was inevitable and even necessary. But even knowing that, I still expected more. More of her story. More of the ferocity of her love. More insight into where that intensity came from and how deeply it burned.
Instead, the novella felt like viewing Annabel through a dirty, frosted window, close enough to see her shape but never clearly enough to truly see her and her story.
It was good, don’t get me wrong. But I expected more.

A collection of the pilot books for popular series, for those of us who love to follow a character's journey for as long as an author will let us! Some of the below series have heavily debated starting points and book read orders--in those cases the pilot was selected based on what seems to be the most popular approach.

WWMRR? aka What Would Moira Rose Read?
In honor of my Canadian queen Catherine O'Hara tragically passing away today, I wept (literally, I am unwell, y'all), and then felt inspired to make a list of books that I think Moira would like. Please give me ideas, I am thinking books that are/contain the following: dramatic and theatrical, VERBOSE vocabulary paired with profanity, female rage/female empowerment, sly humor, dark and twisty, possible nods to The Industry, excellent accessories required.

I’d love to hear your opinions on Aelin Galathynius! I am tandem reading EoS and ToD, and I’m about 75-80% done with both.
I think she is LONG overdue for some pushback/someone from her court to call her out on all the plans she’s made behind their backs. She has become one of my least favorite characters in the series because of her arrogance (but that isn’t saying much because I still love everyone in the book lol), and I think a more mature Aelin will realize that allowing more opinions from her court will work in her benefit. She is really so young, but is truly the cockiest character I’ve ever read. I’d love to hear what everyone else thinks of her!
