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.

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 chara...
Raven was a great addition to the Delirium series, giving us a lot more insight into the character. I think this just might be my favorite of the Delirium novellas. She is one of those characters that I didn't fall in love with right from the beginning. I didn't understand her. Sometimes I loved...
I read this short story after I had already finished the rest of the series, and that just made it even sadder. I love the enigmatic Raven and I wish this story would have been longer!
This review is also available on my blog.***I was really excited to get into Raven's head cause she's one of my favorite characters from Delirium trilogy thanks to her leader-like attitude and tough personality. We get to know more about Raven's past from this short story, how she evolves from a sca...
*spoiler alert* It was really nice to have a look in bits of Raven's life like her life in the Wilds with Blue, meeting Tack and upon helping Lena save Julian. This was a nice back story. Can't wait to grab a copy of Requiem.
