Review on Requiem by Lauren Oliver

Though I read most of the book at one time, I'm only giving it 3 stars.  It was building toward something, and I feel like that something never really came.  Did Raven really have to die?  What happened to everyone after the end?  What happened to Portland, and the whole country?  What if all the Invalids ended up dead anyway, even if they managed to kill Fred?

Alex and Lena's "reunion", if you can even call it that, is short-lived.  I have yet to read Oliver's character short stories, but I hope Alex's talks about his time in the Crypts and his feelings.

I enjoyed the writing as I've enjoyed Oliver's 3 other books, but I didn't feel like this was a strong finish for the trilogy after everything that had happened.
