I liked this one better than Hana and Alex so far: the story is heartbreaking and knowing how it ends makes it more painful.

I wanted to know why raven came back to help Lena so I’m glad I got this. There was also a fun reveal about raven so I liked this one a lot compared to the other short stories (besides Hana that one ate)

Now this short story was really nice.It's by far my favorite of the three independent short stories (although I haven't read Alex yet)
In this short story from the Delirium series, we get a glimpse of Raven's past and find out how her relationship with Tack happened.
She was one of my favorite characters in the series so I really enjoyed her narration.

Not as gripping as the other novellas, but it was good to see a different side to this character. It should have been (and easily could have been) a bit longer, though.

It was really good. I'd say 4,5, but so close to 5 that I can't stop myself and gave it maximum.
Reading from Raven's point of view is breaking my heart...she had such a sad and violent past. Won't wish it to no one. But she's a fighter. Lots of incredible female characters in 2013 for me.
And this last sentence...oh...I nearly cried. I'm too emotional this month, dunno why...
P.S. I wrote some more here. Enjoy! http://aniashuk.booklikes.com/post/127601/when-a-secondary-character-is-more-likable-than-main-one

I thought that this was a fantastic addition to the Delirium trilogy. After meeting Raven's character in Pandemonium, I have to say I was not a huge fan of her sometimes rude behavior and her mottos introduced by Lena in Requiem. This short story however, made me come to love and understand Raven as I did the other characters. This story brought so much new perspective to Raven and made her seem like a completely different person than who she appears to be from the perspective of others. As for the debatable ending, I personally liked it. This new twist made me want to reread the other books to find clues as to Raven's surprise. I would love to read more from Raven's perspective later in the future about what happens to her, especially after the end of Requiem.
