this book put me in such a slump. i barely ever wanted to pick it up even though i was into it once i started reading, but it was so easy to put down. reading the first two parts i hated snow bc of how he was in the original trilogy, but i didn’t really start hating him in his book until part three. there was a couple of things that he said and then he just kept contradicting himself and doing the opposite. i think a very small part of him wanted to be good but he was so brainwashed from the capitol that he couldn’t change his ways. since the capitol is such a controlled environment once things were out of control he didn’t know how to handle it which is why he acted the way he did. originally i was gonna give this book 2.5 stars because i wasn’t invested in the book until the last 70 pages but they made up for it.

Ich werde das Buch wahrscheinlich nochmals lesen.  Die Bücher, in denen Katniss die Hauptfigur ist haben mir aber besser gefallen. 
An manchen Stellen fand ich dieses Buch langweilig und zu lang. Ich weiss auch nicht, was ich von Coriolanus halten soll… Und das Ende hat mir nicht so gefallen.
Auch hätte ich gerne erfahren, was mit Lucy Gray passiert ist. Und Sejanus hat das nicht verdient.

Ich empfehle es trotzdem weiter.
