Requiem by Lauren Oliver

5.0

I just finished reading Requiem. It is the final book in the Delirium trilogy written by Lauren Oliver. Lena has now officially become an active force of the resistance. She finds that the force grows stronger every day. They work together to form a plan to make their existence known. Meanwhile, Hana finds herself adjusting to her new life after being cured. She’s getting ready to be married to the mayor. Lena and Hana grew up together as best friends. Now they find themselves on opposite sides.

Like the first two books, I really loved this book. I personally loved that the final book was from both Lena and Hana’s perspectives. It gave things a very creative touch. It was pretty interesting to have a perspective from a cured’s point of view. It gave it an unexpected angle. I won’t go into details, but I really loved how there were many parts in the ending that were left open for interpretation. Most of the time, this isn’t done correctly, but it’s done correctly with this ending.

The only thing I didn’t like about this book was that it didn’t go into many details about what happened to Lena’s family. They are mentioned a few times, but never really fully discussed. I’d of liked to have seen that. I also wish they could have added a “years later” part. It would have been nice to see how things turned out. I still liked the trilogy regardless. It was very well written.

I fully recommend this book. I would recommend that the reader read the first two books first. The first book is called Delirium. The second book is called Pandemonium. Be prepared to fall in love with the characters. Especially some of the younger ones. I know I did!
