The intensity of her emotional state was further heightened by Hana’s point of view. ![]() Lena’s character development was heart-wrenching in this installment. Her descriptions catapult you into the wilds, until you can actually feel the bite of the cold and see the rays of glittering sunshine piercing the trees. Every word, every sentence, every paragraph has been painstakingly selected to provide maximum emotional impact. But is it all worth it? Is life really any better under the guise of ‘freedom’ and how far is she willing to go to fight for what she believes in, if it means tearing down the very walls that protect her? I cannot fully explain how Lauren Oliver’s writing skills have awed me. Stuck out in the wilds, torn between the two boys who have each stolen a piece of her heart, Lena learns this skill quickly. Outside the cities, they build walls to keep the hurt out. Inside the Delirium free cities, they build walls to keep the disease out. There’s only one way to survive in this world: build walls. ![]()
