Take down the walls. 
 That is, after all, the whole point. 
 Wow. I can't believe that the Delirium trilogy has come to an end now. I still can't get over the fact that there will never be a new book about Lena--her story has amazed me so much and I would love to read more about her, to spend more time in her world. I'd only started reading Delirium last summer and it still feels like I'd been with Lena for a lifetime. I had loved both Delirium and Pandemonium with equal measure, just as much as I love both Alex and Julian. I didn't want anyone of them to get hurt while reading Requiem. I wished for both of them to have a happy ending. I think that Delirium was the love story of Lena and Alex, while Pandemonium was the love story of Lena and Julian. And Requiem was much more than the conclusion of a love triangle--eventually, all three of the books are more than just love stories. It's the story of a girl and how she realizes what she needs to fight for. It's the story of a girl who starts to fight for her freedom, for the right to choose. A girl who realized that sometimes it's better to have faith, to let yourself get hurt if that means being able to feel. These books are, in the end, a story about taking down the walls. 
 I wouldn't say that Requiem was better than the first two books. I'd even say that it wasn't as good as the first two books or just as great. I flew through the pages and the only reason why I wasn't able to read it in just a matter of a few days was that I didn't have enough time to read. I loved how we did not only experience the story from Lena's POV but also from Hana's POV. I'd always liked her and getting to know more about her life after the cure was interesting. 
 The best thing about Requiem was, of course, the showdown in Portland at the end. I loved how Lena and Hana met again after all this time, how Lena rescued Grace. And how she told Alex that she never stopped loving him. This was my favorite Lena/Alex moment in Requiem and there were also Lena/Julian moments I loved (like when Julian had told her he loved her). The end of the book was quite surprising. I'm still not sure what to think of it. On one hand, I love it, but on ther other hand it makes me sad that we will probably never know what happened after the riots. But, just like Lena had said, I think that's the whole point of the ending of Requiem--not knowing. Because you can never know what will happen if you let fate decide. And I think that was the best part of the book and yet the most frustrating. Because part of me just loves this ending and how poetic it was. I had tears in my eyes reading these last few lines. But there's also a part of me that wants to know what happened after the resistence, that wants to know if life got better for all of them. It's not even sure if Alex and Lena got together in the end or not - even though it's quite certain that she loved Alex more than Julian, she was still uncertain about everything. Like she said, she didn't know what will happen to either of them. I think that Alex and Lena found their way back to each other eventually, which makes me happy, though I'd also like to think that maybe Julian would have fought for her, too. And I'd also want to know what became of Hana, if she'd ever become fully herself again, what happened to Lena's mother and the other resisters... This really is frustrating. But still, I think I loved the ending. It just felt... right. And it was a wonderful ending to one of my favourite book trilogies.
