History: When Furyondy broke from the Great Kingdom in 254 CY, the nobles of the Nyr Dyv's north shore, including the Viscount of Redhand, refused to acknowledge the new Furyondian king in the capital of Dyvers. Most of its border with Urnst is part of the Dyvynmere Marsh. Redhand's western lands are dominated by a range of uplands known as the Red Hills, but the Yellowflow Valley and most of its eastern lands are remarkably fertile lowlands. The Yellowflow runs the length of Redhand before emptying into the Artonsamay's marshy delta. By the time it reaches Redhand the sulfurous waters for which it is named have become diluted by purer tributaries. Redhand is almost divided in two, north and south by the Yellowflow River whose headwaters lie in the geysers and hot springs west of White Plume Mountain. To the south is the Nyr Dyv, the "Lake of Unknown Depths". To the north lies the Great Land of Reyhu, one of the so-called Bandit Kingdoms. In the east it's border is the Artonsamay River and the County of Urnst beyond. Geography: Redhand is bounded in the west by the Shield Lands. Typically, a fief will be subdivided by its baron into smaller fiefs administered by knights who owe him or her loyalty, with the number varying depending on the size of the fief. He is the absolute ruler of the realm and is owed fealty by a number of barons who govern lesser fiefs.Each barony's ruler is the direct vassal of the Prince. The current ruler is Prince Zeech of the house of Arabasti. While his father had been loosening ties with the Shield Lands over the last decade, seeking closer relations with the County of Urnst, with the ascension of its most recent ruler earlier this year it has formally left that association. Government: The Principality of Redhand was until recently a member of the commonwealth of feudal states known as the Shield Lands.

I really had no idea what was going to happen and this made the book difficult to put down. Alternating from Lena’s past and present kept the pace moving and made the book completely unpredictable. Pandemonium is definitely grittier than Delirium. The story switches between Lena finding her way to the group and living with them to a future time when she is a member of the resistance. She meets up with a resistance group living in the wilds. On top of that, she is recovering from the abrupt separation from Alex, the boy she loved so much that she ran away from everything she knew. After escaping from the police in Delirium, she is now on the run and fighting for her survival in the ‘wilds,’ as it’s called in the series. Contrary to Delirium, Lena is a little more rough around the edges in Pandemonium. The kind that makes you scream, “WHY DO I HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER YEAR FOR THE NEXT ONE?! AHH!” So. It Leaves you on a total cliffhanger too. This was a little jarring to me in the beginning but I eventually got the hang of it. The story, all told from Lena’s perspective, alternates between different times. Pandemonium had a completely different feel than Delirium, the first book in the series. Let me just say that by the end of the book I was (literally) sitting on the edge of my bed, wide-eyed, and by the last words uttered by the narrator, I was cursing out loud because the book was over and I cannot believe that Lauren Oliver expects us to sit and wait until February, 2013 for Requiem to come out so we can find out what happens next!!!!! Just know that Sarah Drew does a wonderful job at expressing the emotion in Lana's voice and that is definitely needed in this book because poor Lana is put to so many tests, emotionally and physically. There are so many things that I would love to go into about Alex, Julian, and her Lana's mom, but that would be giving away just too many potential spoilers.and it would totally ruin the experience for anyone about to listen to the book. We also see the introduction of an almost entirely new cast of characters. In this follow-up to Delirium, we see Lana's character grow immensely and really come into herself. Once that was figured out (sorry, I'm not giving any spoilers), I did find the story, and the "Now" and "Then" perspectives just a bit confusing to me.but I quickly got with the program. When I first started listening to this audiobook, I was doing so just because I read the first book and I wanted to know what happened to Alex and Lana, and to see if they made it into the Wilds safely. She captures the teenage psyche in a way that in the same instant reminds you why you never want to go back, while making you not want to put the book down. Oh, and before I forget,Sarah Drew is one of my all-time favorite narrators. There’s something really interesting and chilling about this. The characters in this book aren’t just rebelling against this society so they can make out in public – it’s so they have the freedom to love their children as well. Oliver explores other types of love in book two, notably parental love, in a way she hadn’t before. It is more mature and action packed than its predecessor and it appeals to my grown-up brain as well. Pandemonium breaks the grand tradition of sophomore trilogy slumps. But don’t dismiss this as a teenage first-love sob-fest – though Delirium could be accurately described this way. Her heroine is perhaps less unique: Lena originally believes in the strict society and all of its rules, but as she falls in love she turns against them. Lauren Oliver has come up with a decidedly compelling dystopian concept: Love is illegal and surgically removed from everyone at the age of 18. I know it’s not for everyone, but it totally worked for me. Not everyone is going to love this book (and series) the way I do. A lot of YA titles work like this – they are so readily consumable and the stories are so fast-paced that you just get swept along and want to experience the story over and over and in different ways. If there was a movie I’d probably line up with girls half my age and squeal until being let into the theater. I love it so much that I read it (twice) and am now listening to it too. This is one of those series that crosses formats for me. I read this book way before the audio recording was even ready – devouring it over a weekend, ignoring all but the most critical commitments. And sometimes there is a book I’m simply DYING to get my hands on as soon as possible, like Pandemonium. One of the best ones is that occasionally I can get my hands on the pre-pub galley of a book before it hits the shelves of any bookstore. As an editor at Audible there are a couple awesome perks of my job. Now click “Download File” to download the file to the BlackBerry Unite folder on the media card of your BlackBerry smartphone.

Pages turn noticeably quicker than on the Libra H2O when you compare them side by side the Libra 2 should hold the same performance advantage against Kobo's Clara HD and Nia. It uses a 7-inch, 300ppi E Ink Carta 1200 screen, the same new panel as on Kobo's 10-inch Elipsa and the latest Kindle Paperwhite. Those larger models feel a bit overbalanced toward the top of the device.Īt 5.7 by 6.4 by 0.3 inches (HWD) and 7.6 ounces, the Libra 2 is a bit heavier than its predecessor (5.7 by 6.3 by 0.3 inches, 6.8 ounces), but is still comfortable to hold in one hand by its dedicated grip area. The Libra 2 and the Kindle Oasis have the right balance the Kobo Forma and Sage don't. The Libra 2's grip is more softly curved than the Libra H2O's more angled design.īalance is very important for an ebook reader, especially for models like the Libra 2 that are meant to be held by the edge. The Libra, on the other hand, has a real grip area on the side, with physical page-turn buttons. This design can make it a little difficult to know where to put your hand when you're reading. For example, models up to and including the Kindle Paperwhite tend to be almost all display and rely on a touch screen for navigation. With the Libra, Kobo takes a very different design philosophy than Amazon does with its Kindles. The Libra 2 (left) has a less angled grip area than the Libra H2O (right) Despite this trend, Kobo's Libra 2 still builds in physical page-turn buttons and an area to grip the device, thus evoking a more book-like experience. A Refined Grip and PerformanceĮbook reader owners tend to like the restfulness and physicality of books, but less expensive models have been paring away at the physical buttons that bind them to their physical counterparts and moving toward touch screens. But for everyone else, the $139.99 Kindle Paperwhite is our Editors' Choice winner. If you're looking for a non-Kindle ebook reader, the Libra 2 is definitely the one to get. We'd like to see Kobo open up the device’s Bluetooth features, however, with support for audiobooks outside of the company's own selection. As with other Kobo readers we’ve reviewed, we like how the Libra 2 supports more formats and works more seamlessly with public libraries than Amazon's Kindles. The Libra 2’s improvements over its predecessor, the Libra H2O, aren't groundbreaking, but a better handgrip, an updated display, and USB-C charging are all welcome changes.
