Requiem

This trilogy was completely amazing and Oliver’s way of writing transformed me into the life of Lena, Hana, Alex and Julian. The ending of this book left me confused but also satisfied. I definitely wanted to know who Lena would pick, though I’m leaning towards Alex at the moment. The ending was a good conclusion and had a good moral, similar to the end of divergent. Lauren Oliver did it yet again!

The conclusion to a story that fights for the right to love. I was all in for this book. It promised so much, and almost gave you everything. The characters were fantastic, and the build up reached its peak, and the Big Bang arrived. Some characters live, and others died. Minds were changed, and angst dominated everything in between. I really did enjoy this story...until it ended.
It ended.
You kind of get some things you wanted, but others you’re left with loss.
It freaking ended!
I feel like an epilogue was severely needed for this book. The ending felt unfinished, and left more questions than answers. I don’t feel anything was concluded. There is zero closure.
This story and it’s characters have been thrusted forward into limbo Indefinitely.

I almost want to write the epilogue myself, just to ease my irritated heart.

So overall, the story was great. It was pretty fantastic, actually, but the ending doesn’t actually feel like an ending at all. It feels like I only got half of the story.

I wasn’t expecting to like the series as much, but I did. The plot in the beginning didn’t seem appealing to me, but I read it anyway and it turned out to be pretty okay. The way this novel turned out wasn’t what I expected and it could have been better, but I’m sure others feel the complete opposite.
