Without love the characters are almost robotic and extremely sensible, which is so different to society now it’s very calming to read! However, with the second and third book the perfectly cliché ‘what’-beyond-the-fence’ trope comes into play and we’re dealing with a different world that’s more about survival and action, raw emotion and, let’s face it, bad decisions(!) Yet, I think this change was the only plausible thing to happen next. The world in Delirium begins quite mellow, if you’ve seen The Giver movie, it’s got the same sort of feel as that, and maybe even like The Host. Even if it’s slow paced, you can guarantee that I’m going to like it because I love seeing how people live differently – this also applies for fantasy novels too. My favourite part of any dystopian series, is always the initial world building. I don’t think it went down hill! What I can say is that Pandemonium and Requiem took on a different tone. So, my reading experience was slightly different to perhaps others, because although I knew about the problems people had, Delirium was hyped a lot by Maddie. Maddie has always loved the Delirium series and she has a whole video just explaining her reasoning, and almost defending the series, because you’ll see a lot of reviews out there that say the series went down hill and the ending wasn’t what they were expecting/wanted.
