I know she felt she knew Alex well, but with being apart for so long and finally opening herself up to loving someone else, i felt like the timing just wasn’t right.
I kpet thinking Alex was going to turn up, that he couldn’t really be dead, but I tend to think the best of things so I figured it was me trying to avoid reality. I blame Raven for everything! Ugh, annoying woman…. And, I would just like to point out that it’s Raven’s fault that Lena is doubting her love for Alex and swooning for Julian. She was such a hard, almost cruel character at the beginning of the book, and then the stupid woman tries to act all nice to Lena at the end, helping her save Julian, and really going against her entire character. And I hate Raven, with a burning passion. But still! If you think about it, there wouldn’t be a Julian without Alex, so I don’t even really care about anything in Requiem except seeing Alex and Lena together. Yeah, Alex was her first brush with love, so she hasn’t had much other choice, blah blah blah.

The past is what made Lena! Anyways, I just bought Requiem over the weekend and I think I might burn the entire book series if Lena ends up with Alex. I mean, hello?! She thought her mom was dead for 12 years, so you’d think she’d have a little more hope that the person who saved her from a lifetime of mudane, vapid living was still alive! Goodness! It made me dislike Lena a bit, although ultimately I blame Raven for it – she’s the one who’s always talking about ignoring the past and stupid crap like that. I think what annoyed me the most was that Lena just assumed that he’d died. I’m glad you did this spoiler post, because I’ve been dying to talk about this with someone who’s read the book! 🙂 I just am so, so very tired of YA love triangles. But the love triangle creation at the end made me throw my hands up in disgust. I have to say that despite any issues I’ve had with storylines I really do love her style. I love the way this author writes, keeping me on the edge of my seat throughout the story. I’m not saying that that’s the reason the book went that direction, but I have to admit that it made me suspicious. “Team boy B” storyline for the last book, and that just seems to be so trendy right now, and I hate it when authors follow a trend just because it’s a popular thing to do (and/or might sell more books). I didn’t see the Alex thing coming either, and I was actually disappointed that the author went that way because it sets up a “Team boy A” vs. I’m sure the appearance of the fork was an accident, because I remember the part where everybody is eating with their fingers, and it’s made such a big deal of. Ok your thoughts… loved it, hated it, tell all here 😀 I am a little annoyed as I really like Lena and Julian together… AND if Raven knew… well that makes me mad too…and anxious. As I write this I wonder if in the third book it will flash back to what Alex has been doing all this time and tell his side because seriously…. I am hoping in the third book they tie the two-story lines together as I (we) still don’t know how Lena got from the Wilds with Tack and Raven and living in New York. I had a head ache today so did not have the patience to flip back through and see when the silverware arrived bu maybe you could tell me. Then there is a shipment of supplies and everyone oohs and ahs as things come out of the boxes, I recall no mention of silverware… then we get to where Lena hauls water and she is exhausted and famished and the book says “she could barely hang on to her fork”…. so Lena gets to the Wilds and learns quickly that they live by bare minimum standards and that means no silverware. I loved the book I really did but think I found a glitch in it… then again I think it cant be a glitch as it is too easy a one but apparently I need someone to tell me where this happened and why I have it wrong, as I must have it wrong…Īnyhoo….

PLUS of course if opened up the door to further spreading of the disease…LOL, yeah, I mean the “L” word. I remember he was wounded but I thought it was a bold move, and probably brilliant of Lauren Oliver to put Lena on the other side alone and knowing no one. It has been nearly a year since I have read Delirium so I may be a bit rusty on how it all ended but I have to say I was surprised that Alex did not make it (yes, I know about later… but I mean in the beginning). Do not proceed if you have not read this book. This page is a SPOILER PAGE for the book Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver.
