And by that I mean he tells Lena he doesn't love her and never did. ( Spoilers!) While Alex was all lovey-dovey in Delirium and MIA in Pandemonium, he's all standoffish in Requiem. I think I'm Team Alex, even though Julian's probably gotten more page-time in the books. Even though she's cured, she's not quite satisfied with life, especially when her fiance is a complete a-hole. Otherwise, she was a pretty likable and readable main character. I can't quite remember, but I think a few little things she did annoyed me.

Once again (like the other books in the trilogy), there's phrase/word overusage. So if there's a spoiler, it will be marked in bold. I'm going to try and keep this spoiler-free, but I know I can't do that 100%. But the second time? I developed what I call The Hunger Games High.) Of course, there were things I didn't like in this book. (I think I didn't love The Hunger Games trilogy the first time, but I can't remember. I feel like this may be a series that's better the second time it's read. Where do I begin? This book, this series, it nfuses me! I still can't decide if I dislike it or like it, think it's just okay, or love it.
