Requiem by Lauren Oliver
3.0
I'm really very disappointed. The end felt like Oliver just gave up. Like she'd lost the story and just threw something quick and easy together to end it.
When I'm in a world for the long haul - and anyone who reads trilogies or series are - I want to know what happens to the characters. I want to know *something* about their futures so I can picture a happy ending at least. This ending didn't give me that. What happened to Hana? Did Fred find her and kill her? I can't imagine he would actually stay in the house just because he told her he would. Did Lena get a chance to settle down with her family?
NOT ENOUGH ANSWER. And not enough details to let my imagination wander. Instead, we hit a wall very abruptly (hey, that wall needs to come down).
