My Thoughts/Review:
This was a really awesome short story. I really loved getting more of a perspective on Hana. I thought her character in Delirium was awesome and we didn't get to see enough of her.
This story goes back and focuses on the aspects of Hana's life and what she goes through.
Now after reading this story, I learned exactly what happened with Hana and how she felt through her part of the story. You really get to know her feelings and thoughts about everthing that happened in Delirium.
The story shows what happens to Hana when she is influenced by love. It also shows exactly what happened to Hana at the party where things went south. I really loved how this story ended, it really got me excited to read the next book.
I also loved the sort of cliffhanger at the end which I am guessing leads into some of the details in Pandemonium. It is really a thought provoking ending which makes you want to find out what will happen in the sequel. I really can not wait to read the next book. If you get a chance I completely suggest reading this 1.5 middle book. I really loved the incite into Hana's life. If you loved Delirium this short story is definitley worth the read and gives you an awesome incite and a different perspective to the story.
