Requiem by Lauren Oliver

Requiem (Delirium Trilogy, #3)

by Lauren Oliver

BONUS: read an exclusive short story about Alex, Lena's first love - only in the first hardcover printing.

The final instalment in the internationally bestselling Delirium trilogy.

It is the rule of the Wilds

You must be bigger, and stronger, and tougher.

A coldness radiates through me, a solid wall that is growing, piece by piece, in my chest. He doesn't love me

He never loved me.

It was all a lie.

'The old Lena is dead', I say, and then push past him. Each step is more difficult than the last; the heaviness fills me and turns my limbs to stone.

You must hurt, or be hurt.

Lena can build the walls, but what if there's no one left to take them down? The powerful, heartbreaking conclusion to one of the most eagerly awaited, talked-about series is here.

Keeping my review short and sweet, as I don't want to reveal too much. Great action scenes and it was a brilliant to show how far both Lena and Hana have come and their differing worlds now. Beautifully written and a unique concept, but felt empty once I had finished. For myself, there was no definitive ending as I had hoped, and it overshadowed the important social message that the series tries to portray.

A thank you to my fairy book mother, who was kind enough to share.
