Reread. Really good conclusion to the series. I feel it tied up all the threads that have been laid over the course of the books, while still acknowledging that life goes on, and though this conclusion might not be perfect, it was still worth fighting for. Definitely some painful moments over the course of the book- I cried a lot, but I think those moments were done really well and felt worth something.

The end to an incredible series. I prefer the books when they are actually in the games but this still remains interesting and engaging. It divulges into some interesting topics/dilemmas of power, relationships, etc which I really liked. I liked to see a lot of the character development, especially Effie! Definitely one of my favourite series of all time, love it!!

I mostly enjoyed this book… until the last hundred pages or so, which was painful to get through and not even very enjoyable just because it’s so depressing… but otherwise, it wasn’t bad! I really liked all the politics of it and how complex all the characters were. Be warned before you read it, it’s not “fun” except for like 2 scenes maybe, but plot-wise I think it was a great end to the series.

The love triangle continued to be annoying but otherwise I liked the story. It reminded me a lot of ATLA in the way it addressed what lines should be crossed when handling enemies. The epilogue rubs me the wrong way because it sounds like Katnis was coerced/worn down into having children.
