Requiem

By: Lauren Oliver

Narrated by: Sarah Drew

The third and final book in Lauren Oliver’s powerful New York Times bestselling trilogy about forbidden love, revolution, and the power to choose.

Now an active member of the resistance, Lena has transformed. The nascent rebellion has ignited into an all-out revolution, and Lena is at the center of the fight.

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 infiltrate the borderlands to stamp out the rebels.

As Lena navigates the increasingly dangerous terrain of the Wilds, her best friend, Hana, lives a safe, loveless life in Portland as the fiancée of the young mayor. They live side by side in a world that divides them until, at last, their stories converge.

Great story!

Who was your favorite character and why?

"Favorite"

I like the way both Hana and Lena had a chance to share their emotions (or lack of) and feelings. They have both changed so much in the last "year" (book time).

What does Sarah Drew bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

eh - just different.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I always want to listen or read a book in one sitting. ALWAYS.

Any additional comments?

I was a little disapointed in the ending. After having all day to think about why - I've come to terms with the end of Hana's story - I think it makes an excellent point. But, I don't think the love triangle was adequately closed. I think a short epiloge just focusing on the love interest would have been nice.

The first 2 books were great, but I got the feeling that she wasn't sure how to end the story.

Sarah Drew did a great job going back and forth between the 2 characters, even when I had to stop mid-chapter it was easy tell who I had left off listening too.

What?

What the hell? The writer loves to let the ending go to our imagination. Still I couldn’t put them down. I listen to the whole series in less that 5 days

Love it!!

I have a new favorite author. This series is amazing. I couldn’t put it down. So thought provoking and heart wrenching. Love, love, love it. My introduction to Lauren Oliver was the movie “before I fall”. My husband and I went to it and both really liked it. Every teenager should see it or read the book.

So Good!! Please write #4!!!

What did you love best about Requiem?
