I'm extremely disappointed. I've invested so much into these books, waiting each year for the next one to come out, wondering about the characters, discussing plot lines with other readers, aching in turn for Julian and Alex. And Oliver let me down by not finishing the book. I'll never know what happens to anyone... None of the characters I got to know and loved. Alex, Julian, Lena, Hana... I have no answers. I don't understand why authors leave it open to the imagination of the reader. If we readers wanted to imagine stories we wouldn't read. We would just think. It's the job of the author to provide (and conclude) their own story. Requiem brought me no closure and I'm angry about it. What happens to Portland? To the entire nation? To the Cure? I don't know and never will. I'm frustrated and angered, and it will be a long time before I pick up another of Oliver's books and put so much of my time and emotion into it, because I don't want to be dropped unceremoniously by this author ever again.
