Description

The third and final book in Lauren Oliver’s powerful New York Times bestselling trilogy about forbidden love, revolution, and the power to choose. Now with a brand-new cover and an exclusive-to-this-book sneak peek at her next novel for teens: the ambitious, wholly original masterwork Replica.
Now an active member of the resistance, Lena has transformed. The nascent rebellion that was underway in Pandemonium has ignited into an all-out revolution in Requiem, and Lena is at the center of the fight. After rescuing Julian from a death sentence, Lena and her friends fled to the Wilds. But the Wilds are no longer a safe haven. Pockets of rebellion have opened throughout the country, and the government cannot deny the existence of Invalids. Regulators infiltrate the borderlands to stamp out the rebels.
As Lena navigates the increasingly dangerous terrain of the Wilds, her best friend, Hana, lives a safe, loveless life in Portland as the fiancée of the young mayor. Requiem is told from both Lena’s and Hana's points of view. They live side by side in a world that divides them until, at last, their stories converge.

No Closure /:

Although I loved this book, I got no closure. I want to know what happens next. The are still so many questions left unanswered. I don't want to spoil the book so I won't say more, but that ending leaves room for at least one more book to bring closure.

The ending ruined it

I got soo emotionally invested in these characters. I was thrilled to see how this dystopian world will be after the rebellion. But nope. I honestly thought that just taking over Portland was honestly the first step in this war, that there should be more to the story on how the Invalids were able to take control of the US again. Very disappointed when the final page of the book was about taking down walls. WE DON'T EVEN KNOW IF JULIAN SURVIVED!!! I cried when Raven died, probably the only part of the book when I did cry. Also, I feel like there should be resolution between Alex and Lena's relationship, because it feels like all of the sudden they just decided they like each other and decided to kiss. No. We need a better understanding of each other. I expected a polished ending to this trilogy, BUT NO, IT FEELS LIKE OLIVER FORGOT TO ADD THE LAST 50 PAGES TO THE BOOK. I will never be satisfied until I get an epilogue. I did enjoy the book, maybe not as much as Pandemonium or Delirium, but it was still good. But overall, the ending ruined the book for me, making me give it one star. Such a shame, it was a really great trilogy, but separately, this book is the weakest.

LOVED IT!!- ending not so much...

It was a great trilogy, I couldn't put it down! The storyline is great and the characters are awesome! I was very disappointed with the ending. I guess I just wanted more closure. :/

Ehhh

This was an okay read. I liked the first 2 books better. The third just seemed to drag on endlessly. Which is fitting since there really is no ending. The story just isn't finished and there's no resolution. Am I that disappointed by the ending? No. Truth is I had checked out of this story about midway. I found myself just skimming looking for actual dialogue rather than the pointless comparisons and flashbacks. Absolutely hated the chapters flipping between Hana and Lena. Seriously was there a less important person and storyline than Hana? First two books were worth the read, would not recommend the third.

The ending?

I would have give in five stars but the ending was so disappointing.I read all three book in three day, so excited and then .......bam....it ends just like that. The big question is WHAT HAPPEN?? What happen the Alex-Lena-Jullian?? To Tach after Ravens death? To Hana?.....A huge let down, too much of and open ended book. I regret reading the series.

Loved the whole series.

Lauren Oliver has such a beautiful way with words and descriptions - she makes you feel like you are there, seeing, hearing, tasting, feeling everything the characters are.
I would have written the relationship with Julian differently so that the love for Alex was stronger throughout - but that's just me. Great, great read. Sad it's over :(

That's the end???!?

LOVED these books and felt super emotionally invested... only to get to the end and feel like Lauren Oliver got tired and just phoned in the last few chapters. What happens with Alex/Lena? What happens to the remaining cities? Who steps up and takes Raven's spot after she is killed? What happens to Lena and her mother's relationship? What's next for Julian? Does his brain cancer come back? Does be fall in love with someone else? What is next for Hana??
So many more questions and it feels like Lauren Oliver FAILED her readers by leaving so many unanswered questions. I really hope she reconsiders making Requiem her last book and writes a follow up that ties off the MANY loose ends she left us with.

Ahhhhh :) great read!

Okay, many people were disappointed with the ending of the series but honestly I felt refreshed by it. Think about it, the whole thing was basically about making choices and living the way you want to. She left the ending semi incomplete so we, the readers, could fill in the blanks however we wanted, she gave us the freedom to do so which most authors don't. I thought it was fabulous and if you haven't read her other book Before I Fall, go do so right now!

Great!

I love this book, however I wished they're were Alex chapter's too; instead of just Hana and Lena. I also wanted to know more about the aftermath of the rebellion and how her life with ****(won't spoil)
is.

Requiem

The ending was a big let down, very disappointed. Loved the first two books and this one started out strong ten failed to tidy things up, loose ends everywhere. Clearly that's what Lauren Oliver was going for but it just feels messy to me. Disappointed she choose to end such a powerful trilogy this way.

Great Overall; TERIBBLE ENDING

The overall book was amazing, i enjoyed every minute of it, but the ending was a complete cliff hanger. However, since this was the last book, you NEVER hear the ending. Does she choose to be with Alex??? Do the resisters win the rebellion??? What happens to grace, Lena's mom and julian??? So many loose ends!!!! Please write a short epilogue Lauren Oliver!!!! There are too many loose ends.

Requiem

Very good, after delirium and pandemonium I wasn't sure it was possible to keep it up but this book did not let down. I was a little disappointed with the ending, I think the author should've elaborated more on Alex and Lena and what she was gonna say to Julian. I guess I have a good imagination and u sort of made a better ending in my head. Hope u can do the same. I also wish Lena would've found Hana afterwards and ran with her, if the cure didn't work so well but she was still cured that kind of makes it dangerous for her no matter who wins. Love this book and the saga. A must read for all dystopian fans, I stay up as long as necessary to read my books but not usually to read the trilogy. Pray my rents don't realize how much I'm reading.

Great, however...

I absolutely loved this series. Read it in the matter of a few days. Definitely one of my favorites. However, I felt the ending was a bit of a disappointment. I've always been a strong believer, that a ending should have closure and tie all the loose ends of the story. This one did not. It left you hanging. I felt it could have been longer, or even continued on to be a 4th book. Other than that, it was fantastic.

Good but kind of disappointed

I really liked the first two books but this one was a little disappointing. I know Lena has to choose between Julian and Alex but I feel like how Julian was written he was just over looked for the most part. I also was disappointed in how Lena's story perspective ended. It was all built up then just kinda stops. I did enjoy how Hana's story ended. Overall I would recommend the whole series.

Ugh, the ending...

Just like every other reader has posted below I must agree, the ending was just so disappointing! What a way to build up a climax throughout an entire series and leave it completely hanging and unfinished. Bummer.

Best book ever

I am sooooo happy about the books, the way she ended it was perfect. I was really glad Alex came back( he was my favorite). I only wish she would also right it in his perspective

Requiem

I really loved this serious, I couldn't stop reading it! The first two books were great, and this one was too but, the ending was disappointing and it really left you hanging.

Requiem

I've read all three of the books in the delirium trilogy and loved them all, including requiem! Although it could have had a better and clearer ending, I loved it nonetheless.. However, I feel that after all the anticipation from pandemonium and wondering whether or not Alex would still love Lena, I guess letting there reader develop their own future for the two(plus Julian!) was a good way to go! Well done:)

Love/Hate

I have been reading the delirium series from day one. I got all books the day they came out. I fell in love with them and looked forward to these books more than anything for these couple of years. I have to say that I really did love this last book (requiem), I couldn't stop reading. I will be honest I was very disappointed in the ending. I felt lost. I felt like I was missing a few chapters in the end. I am heartbroken about some of the ending pieces of this book. I feel like I am not getting the full picture on what is happening. I feel like I have bonded with the characters and now I have no idea what's going to happen to them. I could seriously go for a short story about what happened after kinna deal... Or a forth book, something! Over all though this book, and this whole series is worth reading. On my top 3 favorite series of all time.

Loved it...but still hated it

I kept hoping in this series there would be a couple stretches where the characters got to take a small break. Being locked in a cell isn't a break. It's being locked in a cell. A little kiss here, a touch there, a meaningful conversation had amidst chaos isn't a break either. From the end of the second book it's just a straight sprint to the finish. Never any respite or rest, just 'GO GO GO GO!!!' And there's hardly any love to the story anymore. It's just war and hurt and painful goodbyes and confusion. I had such high hopes for this series, I loved the first two books, and I loved this book. I just wish I felt like it gave any kind of closure, it didn't read like an ending. It read like someone was setting up the ending. So disappointing.

Disappointed in the ending

I loved the first two books, very creative and refreshing to read something new! But, I was not impressed with the end of the last book. It felt off, like something was missing. Just my opinion.

Requiem

I was not as thrilled with this book as the previous two books. I loved pandemonium and I guess my expectations were high for this one, I felt let down in the end.
