This is a beautiful end to the series told in Lauren Oliver's flowing prose. Lena has gone from a girl who did as she was told to one that has the power to overthrow the government. With each successive book, Oliver has given us more character development and more action. Requiem brings things to a stunning conclusion and completes Lena's journey which began in Delirium. While Lena has to deal with her own dilemmas, personal and resistance-related, Hana is also having problems when she finds that her life is not completely hunky-dory, as the government promised. People are fed up with a society that forces them to give up their emotions and they're rebelling against it. In Requiem, the resistance gains more power and the government can't ignore it anymore. Requiem also tells the story of Lena's best friend, Hana, who had the operation and is living within society as a member of the upper classes while Lena continues to be a part of the resistance in the wilds. However, Alex reappears on the scene and it is up to Requiem to tell us who Lena finally ends up with. Believing Alex to have died at the end of book one, she starts having feelings for Julian in book two.

She escapes into the wilds and becomes a part of the resistance. However, Lena Haloway, who was always a good little girl, takes a walk on the wild side and falls in love with Alex, an outsider. They are matched with suitable mates and live like robots. After this procedure, people can't feel anything anymore. In order to cure this disease, society has come up with a procedure that everyone must go through when they turn eighteen. Requiem is the third and final book in the Delirium trilogy by Lauren Oliver, set in a dystopian world where love is considered a disease.
