Raven

Raven

Lauren Oliver2013
This captivating 50-page digital-original story set in the world of Lauren Oliver's New York Times bestselling Delirium series focuses on Raven, the fiery leader of a rebel group in the Wilds. As a teenager, Raven made the split-second decision to flee across the border to the Wilds, compelled to save an abandoned newborn—a baby girl left for dead and already blue from the cold. When she and the baby are taken in by a band of rebels, Raven finds herself an outsider within a tight-knit group. The only other newcomer is an untrustworthy boy known as the Thief until he finally earns himself a new name: Tack. Now she and Tack are inseparable, committed to each other, the fledgling rebellion, and a future together. But as they both take center stage in the fight, Raven must decide whether the dangers of the revolution are worth risking her dreams of a peaceful life with Tack. As her story hurtles back and forth between past and present, Raven transforms from a scared girl newly arrived in the Wilds to the tough leader who helps Lena save former Deliria-Free poster boy Julian Fineman from a death sentence. Whatever the original mission may have been, Raven abides by a conviction that she believes to her core: You always return for the people you love. By turns surprising, revelatory, and poignant, Raven's story enriches the Delirium world and resonates with a voice that is as vulnerable as it is strong.

so i just read it and it is the most compelling book i ever read!! So we know from this story that As a teenager, Raven made the split-second decision to flee across the border to the Wilds, compelled to save an abandoned newborn—a baby girl left for dead and already blue from the cold: hence why Blue from Pandemonium was named Blue and I say “was” because of Pandemonium 😓. When she and the baby are taken in by a band of rebels, Raven finds herself an outsider within a tight-knit group in the wilds of course. The only other newcomer is an untrustworthy boy known as the Thief until he finally earns himself a new name: Tack. Whiiiich I would like to add , I loved his character! Yes, here we kind of also get the origins of Tack and how he became Ravens partner! I actually was surprised they were a couple and of course that makes me feel dumb because how could I not have at least wonder that if they were always together! Duh!!! Now she and Tack are inseparable, committed to each other, the fledgling rebellion, and a future together. But as they both take center stage in the fight, Raven must decide whether the dangers of the revolution are worth risking her dreams of a peaceful life with Tack. And I add this because there was a huge surprise at the end that can change the whole story for her and her Love Tack😳!! As her story goes back and forth between past and present, Raven transforms from a scared girl newly arrived in the Wilds to the tough leader who helps Lena save former DFA poster boy Julian Fineman from a death sentence. of course this is a companion to Pandemonium, so I suggest you read that first before reading Raven! Also Whatever the original mission may have been, Raven believes and follows by her conviction that she believes to her core: You always return for the people you love! Which that means she has grown to love Lena!!! And that’s just to show that in this book the author fleshed out Raven’s character , softenening some of the rough edges we read about her in Pandemonium. And yes again , This was a short novella that focused on mostly Raven, but also some of the relationships from her past like how it was before she left to the wilds. Raven is the story of how a girl can find love - something that is forbidden within this society - in other human beings. It talks about all kinds of love, love for family, romantic love, duty, responsibility. Raven was one of the most fascinating and intriguing characters for me in this trilogy and I loved listening to her voice, to her point of view, and to her dreams and desires. 💔🤧😵 Let’s hope there is more of her in Requiem‼️🫢🤩

Me encantó este libro y el final... OMG nunca me esperé eso!! pero amó a Raven y estoy feliz de que le pase eso aunque hubiera sido mejor que ellos estuvieran en mejores condiciones y pudieran estar tranquilos con esa noticia... amé la parte en que ella hablaba de Blue y como se sentía a través de las páginas el amor por esa pequeña niña que alguna vez encontró. sin duda Lauren sabe como escribir libros y que se enamoren de ellos :)
