Requiem (Delirium #3) by Lauren Oliver
Publication: March 3, 2013
by: HarperTeen
From Goodreads:
Now an active member of
the resistance, Lena has been transformed. The nascent rebellion that
was under way in Pandemonium has ignited into an all-out revolution in
Requiem, and Lena is at the center of the fight. Of Pandemonium, ALA
Booklist noted that “like all successful second volumes, this expands
the world and ups the stakes, setting us up for the big finale.”
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 fiancé of the young mayor. Requiem is told from both Lena’s and Hana’s points of view. The two girls live side by side in a world that divides them until, at last, their stories converge.

I have no doubt this book will gut me the way Delirium and Pandemonium did. *cries* I'm looking forward to seeing how it all ends and especially how Lena handles her feelings for Julian with what transpired in the final pages of book 2. O_O
What's your W.O.W.?
Hmmm, this is the first time I've read the blurb. Both Hana and Lena's POV? sounds torturous! Have you read the Hana short story?
ReplyDeleteYes, I have read it. :) I'm so torn between the you-know-who's I'm not sure how that will resolve itself. :/
ReplyDeleteCan you even believe I still haven't read Delirium?! It's sitting on my bookshelf, staring at me, looking oh-so-interesting, and still I just can't seem to get to it. Ugh, I wish I could quit my job and just read all day instead. :)

I am dying to see how this series ends, and I can't wait to have Hanna and Lena's stories intertwine. Great choice!
ReplyDeleteWhoa -- I didn't know Hana is back in this one. LOVE her. And yeah, that cliffhanger in Pandemonium. I agree with Jen (above).
ReplyDeleteCome check out my WoW pick!
I didn't read the synopsis because I haven't read Pandemonium yet. I'm waiting for it to be available in the library because I'm too cheap to buy it, haha! Great pick, though! I can't wait to read this one, too. You know, after I read the second one... Check out my WoW!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I love the name of your blog, by the way! Super cute :)
DeleteI haven't read any of the previous books in the series so I'm not familiar with it but this one sounds great and I would love to read the rest. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteCome check out my WOW post.
I still haven't read Pandemonium and I really need to get on that... great pick!!!
