Getting more complicated, which means more fatiguing. But it also means it’s all coming to a head now. Looking forward to finishing the series.

Need a stronger answer option than yes for the question “did you find the characters lovable?” I need the option: I would die for them. I would volunteer for tribute for them. I love Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark and Finnick Odair and Johanna Mason and Mags and Wiress and Beetie and Haymitch and Effie and ugh they’re perfect and catching fire is perfect. End of review. 

Also thought about knocking .5 off for the G*le kisses and Katniss’ confusion but honestly not gonna let that get to me. #teampeeta til I die

This book very much feels like the second in a series, but not in a bad way. A lot happens in the book, but it feels sort of like a stepping-stone to get to the resolution of the third book. The 2nd and 3rd books are some of the best depiction in literature of PTSD that I've ever read.
