Requiem (Delirium, #3)
by
Lauren Oliver (Goodreads Author)
Taschima's review
Dec 21, 2011
it was ok
The Delirium TV SHOW has been picked up again, BY HULU. TO be aired on June
20th, 2014!
Holy shit! Delirium, by Lauren Oliver, is to become a TV Show!
The Delirium, Lauren Oliver, TV Show has it's Lena!! Lena has been cast, guys!
Click here to read 86 juicy pages of Requiem, plus an exclusive short story
about ALEX!!!* (DYYING INSIDE!!)
Delirium TV Show Casting: Alex and Hana have been cast... for better or worse?
...there is another book right?
The DELIRIUM series cannot end this way, so vague and unfinished.
Disappointed doesn't begin to cover how I feel.
The beginning was slow, and the ending was rushed, sooo rushed... and unclear,
and incomplete, and preachy, and not at all what I was expecting. It felt short,
the whole book did.
So she went back to the wilds and lived crappily ever after? Is that what I am
getting?
Felt like a bridge between books, nothing was really solved, and we were left
with more questions than answers. While Pandemonium was a revelation, Requiem
was the book that fell short. Guess it was too much to hope Requiem would be
just as good. We get NO answers. At the end it's like nothing is resolved, not
even the love triangle (that no one believed in the first place anyways).
I was already suspecting this was going to happen, when I reached the middle of
the book (and a little after) and nothing significant had yet happened. We got a
confrontation in the romance department (ONE! And not even after they meet face
to face for the first time, woah was I pissed!), true, but other than that?
Nada!!
This book was definitely dissapointing. We still get beautiful writing, and it
was GREAT to get to see the characters we love again, but it felt like a bridge
book. No resolution, no ENDING. Just, all left in the air...
The rest of this review shall be full of spoilers, so read if you must, I have a
lot of talking to do about specific parts that pissed.me.off.
(view spoiler)[By the end there she is with a child (Grace), reconciles with
Alex (barely?) yet hasn't broken up with Julian even though she finally realized
she will never love him as much as she loves Alex (DUH!)
Their reconciliation (Alex and Lena) wasn't even that romantic or sweet. It was
business like. Oh yeah I love you, you love me, let's not even make eye contact
as we are saying this in THE MIDDLE OF A FUCKING ATTACK.
Then Lena goes off, stares at Julian's bare chest on her way to a half pummeled
wall (guess old habits die hard?) WITH A CHILD to help tear it down some more?
WHAT THE HELL IS SHE GOING TO DO? ATTACK THE WALL WITH HER FISTS? SHE AIN'T
FUCKING MADE OF STEEL! And the most ridiculous thing of all is the last
paragraph where Lauren Oliver tries to tie everything with words of wisdom that
quite frankly fell flat.
After everything we went through Delirium and Pandemonium do you really think a
half assed paragraph was going to make me HAPPY? I am furious! The last
paragraph could be summarized with the song by Avril Lavigne titled "Keep
Holding on". Does this mean we get a sequel? To hold on for a brighter tomorrow
in which the ending to one of my favorite series isn't this? I damn hope so.
And I haven't even started talking about Hana's grand finale.
She finds out there is a bomb at the house she is to live with her fucking
psycho jerk of a husband and she just goes off the backdoor, never looking back.
Did the husband explode? WHO KNOWS! Did Hana ever find Lena again? No fucking
clue. What is she going to do now? Hell, you got me there!
And the way she does a complete 180 there at the end on the way she treats Lena
and stuff after everything we have read from her POV? Nope, don't believe it.
She treats Lena like she barely knows her even though she has been agonizing
about her in every other page we read. Dumbfounding!
Is Hana's husband (the creepy psycho new mayor that quite possibly killed his
father) even dead? No one knows! I didn't read about an explosion, how about
you?
Oh and why doesn't Lena break up with Julian? My personal opinion is that Lauren
Oliver dug herself a deep hole she doesn't want to get herself out of. Julian
only joined the resistance because of Lena, only to find out this girl has been
stringing him along this whole time?
Fuck, if she series were to continue Julian could become the ultimate super
villain! He is smart, hot, from a well respected family, and has a bone to pick
with love. Ultimate Super Villain. Couldn't blame the guy.
And Alex? Don't make me talk about him now, MY Alex died in Delirium. This new
ball of hatred is not Alex. He is just not the guy any of us fell in love with,
and you know why? BECAUSE HE DOESN'T GET ENOUGH PAGE TIME. If Hana could tell
her story by GODS let Alex tell his side! All we get is confused old Lena who
doesn't know her ass from her elbows.
I am sure our Alex never return because he never got a chance. So much time was
put into veering us into the wrong conclusion of who was going to win Lena's
heart that we didn't have enough reading space to fall in love with Alex all
over again, hell we didn't even have time to reconnect!
Lena and her mother reunite. That was done right, I believe it. Lena is a big
ball of feels, she would have forgiven her mother that easily. She never spoke
top her about Alex though, in the entire book. You would think that small part
of her live (the entire first book right?) would come up in conversation.
Coral, we hate her, we love her... I kind of liked her at the end. She seemed
cool when not looked through Lena's eyes.
The war was never resolved. They won a battle (I think? They were definitely
halfway through when the book ended...) in Portland, but they definitely didn't
win any wars!
OH and after reading Raven's story, to find out she was pregnant (something that
was NEVER referred to or addressed in Requiem) and she just DIES? Not even
fighting or like the leader she is, she is climbing up some stairs, pokes her
head out, and gets shot. Tack comes to console her, and we never read about them
two again. Was the shot fatal? Maybe! Was she still pregnant by then? I don't
know? Did Tack know? etc etc, nothing was addressed and everything was left up
in the air. (hide spoiler)]
Old updates:
*Now in order to read the Alex short story you would have to buy a first edition
copy of Requiem. Like we weren't doing that anyways!
Edit 9/20/12
Am I the only one who is completely jealous and wants to scream at the top of
her lungs to the gods because some people have already read this book and not
me? AM I THE ONLY ONE?
I can't possibly be!
--
I know burning books is bad, but if Lena doesn't end up with Alex there will be
blood. Julian was a good distraction, and hell he was so cute all around, but
Alex pulls at my heart strings. Gosh that ending [Pandemonium] was awesome, the
whole book was written perfectly. Lauren Oliver is very very talented. You got a
fan in me.
ADD 6/30/2012:
HOLY CRAP! There is a cover, there's a cover, there's a cover!!!
I looove the photo quality, and the color, and the flowers, and EVERYTHING!! I'm
just a fan that is full of love for this beautiful cover of one of my favorite
series EVER.

Lauren Oliver is a goddess. Can I trust you to burn my book too then? If they
don't end up together, I'll go batshit and start living on the streets.
Every time I think about Julian, I see Julian Schratter in my mind. Dead.
WOWZA INNIT?

And True that! She IS a goddess! If you send it along I will do my best burning

It's probably a good thing that he's untitled because I know I wouldn't stop

Hot times infinity. You could light a cigarette with that body, that's for

I HATE that Oliver threw another boy into the mix. The whole love triangle thing
is always so over done. Alex was so Perfect. It'll be incredibly unfair to him
(and all us readers who dream about him) if Lena ends up with Julian. Oliver
wrote on her blog 'sometimes you don't end up with the first person you fall in
love with.' She better be just trying to trick us!!! Book burning for sure if
Alex and Lena don't end up together. It'll be as bad as Katniss ending up with
Peeta.....

Oh well, I am all for Katniss ending up with Peeta, he is such a sweet heart,
but Lena better end up with Alex. Anything else is bird poop. Sure Julian was a
great distraction, but let's be honest he was just that, a great re bound guy.

Your welcome. It's no problem really, I just thought that since I got to read it
why not everyone else, you know? (view spoiler)[And with the preview I was
shocked. I thought Alex would be all kind and try to get her to change her mind
about Julian but instead he's all mean and tells her he doesn't love her. (Not
true though.) And then the new girl. I don't like her, she has to keep her hands
off Alex. And if it is a silly game (pretty sure it is) then it has to end soon.
They have to be back together. (hide spoiler)] I also can't wait for the book.
Wish I had an ARC.

(view spoiler)[ I don't trust the new girl, I think she is lying her ass off.
About Alex, I don't know what is wrong with him! I read his short story, he is
clearly STILL in love with Lena! You would think he would, I don't know, treat
her nice? Maybe he is just hurt. You know how people always say that after a
loved one dies you have to move on and crap, but the loved one doesn't reaaally
want you too? Maybe after a few years, but not after half a year. I understand,
but at the same time he should understand, forgive, and move on! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I think he is just feeling betrayed by Lena because while he was
in the Crypts she was meeting someone else and that if he plays this game she'll
know how he feels about her and Julian. I also totally understand what you mean
by people saying that after loved ones die you have to move on and crap but I
also agree that Alex is acting like a child and should just forgive Lena and
move on. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Julian was clearly the rebound guy, but you can understand their
confusion since they aren't supposed to love and all so they wouldn't understand
the concept. She did think he was DEAD, and in her position WHO WOULDN'T?! (hide

Ah, I get it. They must have uploded it as a miatake with the Requiem preview,
or thought better of it since they took it down and are promoting Requiem with
this as well:
"Bonus: Read an exclusive short story about Alex, Lena's first love—only in the
first hardcover printing."
So I guess you will have to pre-order a copy of the first edition to read the
story. *le sigh*

I would think so? I bet they'll post it online again after the book is published
anyways. You would have to contact either Harper or Lauren Oliver to know for
sure though, I am only speculating.

Ok, well I hope so, I really want it.
I agree with you too, about Lena ending up with Alex. I was on the fence about
it but when I read what you said I can't help but agree with you. LOL :)
