 Lauren Oliver is one of those authors who I will read LITERALLY anything she writes, it doesn't matter what the subject is. Oliver has this raw, beautiful ability to create such lyrical, unparalleled prose and Requiem is no exception. Despite my complete adoration for Oliver's writing, I had been extremely nervous about reading Requiem because the reviews have been less than stellar. I wasn't a huge fan of Delirium, but by the middle of Pandemonium, I was completely infected with deliria nervosa for this series. Though the Delirium series isn't the best, I didn't want Requiem to tarnish my view of the series. 
 To be honest, I'm not a huge supporter of Oliver's decision to break this book up into both Lena and Hana's point-of-views. Hana's point of view was interesting, but I really felt like it took away something from the bigger picture. I know Oliver wanted readers to see how essential love is in life, but we never really see how love affects Lena. 
 Considering the Delirium Trilogy is all about love, why is Lena's romances such a negligible part of the story. Why is Alex barely apart of this story and why does he barely interact with Lena? Even Lena's so-called romance with Julian takes the backseat for Hana's point of view and story. I honestly would rather have read about either Alex or Julian than read about Hana who was concentrated on too much in this book. 
 Requiem takes the cake for being one of the worst series conclusions ever, considering I have read Dead Ever After (the conclusion to the Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood series). Requiem isn't the worst conclusion that I've read because it does have some great moments, but these positive aspects are overshadowed by the ending. The ending is extremely unsatisfying and inconclusive; so many of the vital questions that fans had weren't solved at all. In fact, I feel like Requiem left more questions unanswered than it actually answered. 
 The way Requiem ended, I felt like I was missing a few chapters or an epilogue or something. It really felt like my copy was missing an ending and the sad part is that it wasn't my copy because readers everywhere were cheated of a legitimate ending. It's truly upsetting how Oliver managed to ruin one of the most-anticipated books of 2013 for so many people. 
 Though the Delirium trilogy had it's ups and downs, I really felt like I had wasted my time reading the entire series all because of Requiem. For those who haven't started the series yet, I would definitely avoid starting it due to the terrible, non-existent ending. I have a feeling that most people who have read the 2 previous books will read this book, despite the extreme controversy. I guess it was too much to hope for a satisfying ending, Lauren Oliver really let me down with this one.
