I really do like this book (though I like the first two better), and Tatiana Maslany was an incredible narrator. However, this final book in the trilogy is just relentless darkness and trauma and it was really hard to take on this read through.

4.5

Audiobook - I find this book extremely powerful. When I was younger I read it simply as a slightly slow action novel, but now it feels entirely different. This book shows the struggle of a girl thrust into the midst of a war, being treated as nothing more than a glorified puppet, and how she deals (or doesn't) with her new role. The last few chapters I find absolutely heart-breaking. However, the epilogue feels like it falls flat, and I can't help but feel it is a borrowed ending from Harry Potter - I feel like the epilogue slightly takes away from the final chapter, which feels like a perfect epilogue in itself. On the other hand, this book as a whole is a very emotional, action-packed finale to the trilogy and the rebellion Katniss started with a single spark.
