In “Hana,” Lauren Oliver’s short story companion to her
Delirium trilogy, Oliver explores the feelings and actions of Lena’s best friend Hana. The story takes place during the last half of
Delirium and offers an interesting look at what Hana was thinking and feeling at the time, and answers some pressing questions that the readers have upon finishing
Delirium. Oliver is not just skilled at creating brilliant, multi-layered novels, but concise and affecting short stories that examine the nature of fear, jealousy, disappointment, and friendship. This short story is beautifully executed and can be read any time after reading
Delirium or
Pandemonium—but it will only make readers more eager for the finale of the trilogy. Which isn’t exactly a bad thing.

I like the idea of a companion book. It's a great bridge while waiting for the next book.
