“Oh my dear Miss Everdeen. I thought we had agreed not to lie to each other.”

Believe me I didn’t want to give it such a low rating either...

Katniss did shine sometimes but it felt like this was a different version of Katniss. Yes I know about PTSD and healing, one of my favorite books is [b:A Court of Mist and Fury|50659468|A Court of Mist and Fury (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #2)|Sarah J. Maas|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1620325671l/50659468._SY75_.jpg|25126749] and I love Feyre, even though she did the same, depressed for chapters upon chapters—she was brave and compassionate!!!

Anyway back to the point it felt like we were on the sidelines a lot... I felt so bad for Peeta and I get Katniss but the love triangle annoyed me so much. I thought the previous book did it better but in this it was just plain annoying.

Also in previous books it felt like a huge deal when people died but here it wasn’t and I was honestly sick of the amount of propos that were done.

“I assumed as usual. It was my presence that brought on punishment.”

The sheer amount of times Katniss tries to kill Peeta—was this the same Katniss who was ready to sacrifice herself for him? I’m not saying she should, but doing these things and then saying she loves him or protects him... the cognitive dissonance is staggering.

I know this review is becoming more of a rant , I hate that too but I honestly hate wasted potential even more.

I loved Katniss for her flaws in the first two books but that’s all she became, and I know I am being overly critical over a fictional teenage girl but


Even years later, such a bang. A M A Z I N G

boy this was slow going! i remembered the least about this book so i thought it would be the most exciting reread but the pacing just wasn’t as strong and the first half especially was very dense. the writing and world building are still brilliant and i loved seeing katniss’ character development, i just wish the whole book was as gripping as the last 100 or so pages.

Really good. What a way to finish such a beautifully-written series.
