Requiem

"A nice conclusion to a good series!"

"this was an amazing series! loved everything abt these books. definitely recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5."

"I really liked how this one was written - flip flopping between two characters living completely different lives but ultimately leading up to a combined ending. Really interesting! I liked the ending of the book. "

"It’s okay, not my favorite of the series. The first one is the best and I was hopping for a better follow up of Lena’s story it kinda disappointed me "

"*spoilers* I loved the delirium trilogy! This book was an amazing conclusion to the story and I think that the story was finished up well. At the beginning of the book, I was a little hesitant about reading from Hana's perspective because I had never really been a big fan of her character partially because of her snobbiness, but throughout the book I began to like her more and more. By the end of the book I was happy with Hana and the choices she made. Reading from Lena's perspective was as it always is -amazing. I was a little annoyed with both Lena and Alex through the whole book, until about the last chapter or so. Annoyance with Lena, because of her and Julian. I have never really liked Julian and their constant togetherness in this book did not help. Annoyance with Alex, because of his ignoring Lena and hanging out with Coral (even though I liked Coral, I wanted Alex and Lena to be together). Lena definately defined the old phrase, "love is blind" in several ways and Alex showed that when you have love, you would do anything to make the person you love happy. I really liked the ending of Requiem, and felt like it concluded very well allowing a lot of happy endings and some not so happy :( (poor Raven) but maybe we will get to find out what happens to those characters in the future."

"Couldn’t get enough"

"Wait I'm confused, is there another book after this? I personally didn't even known this was a series after finishing the first book. I was content with it ending there, and a bit disappointed when I did find out it was a series. (Don't get me wrong, I was so torn up about Alex's death but kind of happy it didn't end so cliche) Now I've read all three, and I'm glad it ended up as a series now because the last two books, i feel, are so much better than the first. faster, more action. Although, I'm content with it ending the way the third book did and not finding out what happens to the characters. (Don't hate me)<br/>I feel like Lauren Oliver stuffed a LOT of concepts into these three books (despite some of my annoyances with the plot of the book itself-the dystopian 'love outlawed' theme has some bugs that I will dutifully ignore at the moment) and I got a lot out of it, so that I ended up really enjoying the series. Great writing, which is getting harder and harder to find nowadays, and descriptive! But not so much that I'm falling asleep. And I can actually feel all the characters's personalities without me feeling like the author is somehow making the main character magically able to read the minds of everyone around them (isn't that annoying when that happens). <br/>I'm annoyed with cliff hangers but Oliver ends it in such a way that I AM OKAY WITH IT. If it ends here I won't go ripping off doors and blog slamming her all over the Internet because I kind of get that books will never really end, that there will always be something after even though, yes it's made up. Again, it's not the characters that matter here (no matter how much we get attached to them) but their concepts, which I think we're manifested beautifully in this last book. I'm all for her getting together with Alex, but I always feel disappointed when the author FINALLY picks who ends up with the main character because they do it in such a way that, in the beginning it's like "oh my god, how will she ever choose!?" Into "wow that was stupidly obvious" and I'm left here like "cool, happily ever after, whatever". Is it wrong to hope for a twist to an ending? (See Allegiant)<br/> Plus, if they do succeed in taking over Portland, then they have the entire rest of the US to conquer, plus reclaiming relations with other countries and reverting back into what is present day America, but you see, we already knew that. Again, it's not what happens to the society, because deep down we know what's going to happen, but Lena's journey (which was, I'm sorry, a bit of a let down because the entire time she was basically whining abut her love life when it was so obviously completely inappropriate with the events at the time. I miss her back in the first two books -hence the missing star- but liked the book despite her flaws -hence the other stars) and really we've already learned from it, and its kind of nice to let her choose who she'lI end up with without our prying eyes. <br/>Honestly, the only thing I could think of that's missing is something about what the hell is going to happen to poor confused Hana. But that could have possibly been wrapped up into an epilogue. I just pray this series isn't overly extended (see The Mortal Instruments) or that the plot doesn't attempt to become too political and fail due to the brevity of a comeback into a sane state (See also Allegiant -it has it's good and bads-) that would be utterly disappointing."

"What type of non-ending was that?"

"Update: After thinking about this a while, I have changed my mind about this book. I loved the way it ended. I've even given it another star.<br/><br/>That's it? I will admit that I like open ended conclusions but this ending was just way too abrupt. I feel no satisfaction with this book at all, especially since the first two books were so enjoyable. I liked the portions that focused on Hana and thought her story was much more interesting. I'm also glad that there was no real focus on what I thought was going to be a love triangle."

"wow! great book, great series."
