I kept waiting for something to happen in this book...and literally nothing did. I'm so disappointed, I was really looking forward to a big huge battle but even when the battle came, Lena wasn't really in it. We should have had a chapter on Julien, he was in the midst of the battle.

I liked Alex in Delirium, and I liked the love story. But I LOVED Lena falling in love with Julien. And I was so angry at how she seemed to use him. I feel like authors add in love triangles nowadays because they think that's what we want, I can ensure you.....it's not what we want!!!!!!

I agree with how Lena's character development disappeared in Requiem, she was so strong and in control in Pandemonium, and it made Julien fall in love with her. That was lost in this book. But Julien was there, he needed Lena, and he grew stronger, adapted and became central in a way that Alex didn't. In a way, Julien was much more key to the conclusion than Alex was. Alex 'sacrificed' his love for Lena when he left her but that wasn't fair to Lena, what was he supposed to do, leave Lena when it looked like her and Alex hated each other. He never had opportunity to prove things like that to her, he proved his love in how constant his support was. He sacrificed everything for her, the least she could do was love him the way he deserved but of course not.

The 'war' was a load of balls. We were not given a proper conclusion if you ask me. A load of people bringing down a wall is lovely in its symbolism but that doesn't mean that the central defence team of the city was vanquished. What happens next? We're left with a huge question mark and we weren't even given the dignity of some kind of epilogue. Boo!
