Our view

“Requiem” brings the “Delirium” trilogy to an action-filled close, told in the alternating voices of Lena and Hana. Some readers call it the strongest of the three volumes; some find Hana’s chapters the more absorbing. Yet some feel that the first half barely moves the plot, that the love triangle takes up much of the room and that the ending stops short of a full resolution. It is for those who have followed the story from the start.
