About this book

Lauren Oliver wrote Alex as a short companion piece to her Delirium trilogy. The novella tells the story of Alex Sheathes from his own perspective, including the years before he met Lena, his recruitment into the resistance, and the choices that put him in the position the trilogy found him in.

Readers who finished the trilogy will know why this story matters. The novella fills in gaps the main books gestured at but never explored.

The writing is consistent with the trilogy's voice. The pacing is tight. The novella works best read after the main books rather than as an entry point.

For readers who finished Requiem and wanted more, this is the small follow-up that delivers. Oliver also wrote companion pieces for Hana and Annabel, which together give a fuller picture of the world. Worth reading all three if the trilogy mattered to you.
