But we are still here.
And there are more of us every day.
Now an active member of the resistance, Lena has been
transformed.
After rescuing Julian from a death sentence, Lena and her friends
fled to the Wilds. But the Wilds are no longer a safe haven—pockets of
rebellion have opened throughout the country, and the government cannot
deny the existence of Invalids. Regulators now infiltrate the
borderlands to stamp out the rebels, and as Lena navigates the
increasingly dangerous terrain, her best friend, Hana, lives a safe,
loveless life in Portland as the fiancée of the young mayor.
Maybe we are driven crazy by our feelings.
Maybe love is a disease, and we would be better off without it.
But we have chosen a different road.
And in the end, that is the point of escaping the cure: We are free to choose.
We are even free to choose the wrong thing.
The end of Pandemonium was just shattering, after a whole book thinking that Alex was dead this unexpected revelation made want to start the next book at that moment.
The role of Alex in Requiem is just being there, I felt the first half of the book was more about Julian and Lena, Alex was the shadow-boy. And in the middle of the book Alex leaves, so in neither Pandemonium nor Requiem Alex's an important role.
I liked the way Lauren Oliver told the story from Hana's point of view, we know the thoughts of the new Hana, the loveless Hana. The fact that she was the one who told on Alex and Lena is unforgivable, that makes me hate her.
Finally we meet Anabel in depth and she and Lena make up.
The end in my opinion is empty, we have some hints of how it ends but it's really confusing. We know that Lena ends with Alex. She rescues Grace, Julian's still alive and Hana too. And Fred's dead (YESS, I hated him very much). But will they live in the wilds? And Hana? Will Portland be a free city? These are question we would have to ask to Lauren Oliver.
