![]() The Lena-Alex-Julian love triangle does kind of get resolved, but it sort of gets wrapped up in one page. But it ended up being all about the Resistance and taking down society. It started out with Lena falling in love for the first time-with Alex. For me, this series has always been about love. ![]() My biggest disappointment with Requiem was that the ending was way too open ended and not as satisfying as I was hoping for. I loved Hana’s dark secrets, I loved seeing her perfect world come crashing down, and I loved watching her redeem herself at the end! She reveals mistakes she’s made in the past, and the reason for guilt haunting her every day. Hana begins to fear for her future and doubts that her cure really worked as intended. A mysterious ex-wife who has gone missing from society, Fred’s sudden threatening behaviour, and streaks of violence. On the surface, Fred seemed to be the perfect husband: handsome, wealthy, and sweet, but Hana soon realizes that he’s really the Bluebeard tale at work. ![]() Hana is being pushed into horrible marriage. He showed me his smile, and went straight for my heart I won’t make it home, I’m already half-dead I like sitting there rooting for the character to rebel and break free. That’s why I liked Lena in Delirium, and why I liked Hana in Requiem. I think I’m attracted to the girl who’s being shut down and struggling to be set free. Hana is the character that really shone for me in Requiem. She just lost my favour in Pandemonium and never quite earned it back. To be fair, Lena did get better towards the end, but she was never my favourite character. The belief that I would see you again, that I could find you-the hope for it-was the only thing that kept me going.” He releases me and takes another step backward. “There were days when I asked for -prayed for it when I went to sleep. They threw me in a cell and locked the door.” I-I wasn’t strong enough.”įinally he says, “When they took me to the crypts, I thought they were going to kill me. “I couldn’t keep hoping, and then waking up every day and finding out it wasn’t true, and you were still gone. You don’t understand.” My throat is right I feel as though I’m being strangled. Anytime Alex spoke to another girl or ignored her, she’d go running into Julian’s arms, as if she was trying to make Alex jealous. I didn’t like how she used Julian as a rebound when Alex rejected her. I didn’t like how she thought she could run back into his arms. I didn’t like how she expected things to suddenly be okay between her and Alex. I honestly couldn’t help but think that she didn’t deserve Alex’s forgiveness. I really didn’t like Lena for the first half of Requiem. The Resistance really dominates this book-struggling to stay alive and finding new places to strike. It is an intense conclusion to the series, with a lot at stake, and a lot to fight for. I had a couple ups and downs with Requiem, but at the end of the day, I enjoyed it. The two girls live side by side in a world that divides them until, at last, their stories converge. Requiem is told from both Lena's and Hana's points of view. Regulators now infiltrate the borderlands to stamp out the rebels, and as Lena navigates the increasingly dangerous terrain, her best friend, Hana, lives a safe, loveless life in Portland as the fiancée of the young mayor. 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. The nascent rebellion that was under way in Pandemonium has ignited into an all-out revolution in Requiem, and Lena is at the center of the fight.Īfter rescuing Julian from a death sentence, Lena and her friends fled to the Wilds. Now an active member of the resistance, Lena has been transformed. Published by: HarperTeen on March 5, 2013
