I understand I'm not the target audience for this book, but for the sake of rating: the main character's constant sniveling and rhetorical questions were just unbearable, and every chapter ending on a cliffhanger got old extremely fast. Totally took away from what could've been a decent plot, though that had some serious issues with it as well. Snow's final rampage truly made no sense and capped off what I thought was a lackluster addition to the series.

Liked other books better. This is less action, more character convos, and political theory.
