The series ended well, and might have ended the only way it could have. Although I was at first disappointed that Katniss didn't become the new president, and that we didn't get the full trial after her assassination (and although I felt that her "insanity" plea was a bit of a cop-out), I realize that she really wasn't presidential material. The comment Gale made about Katniss choosing the one she couldn't survive without became moot when she didn't really have to make a choice at all. In fact, the omission of that, the trial, and a lot of the aftermath of the explosion that killed Prim made it anticlimactic. Not unemotional, but a little fizzled out. The book wasn't terribly long, and I think it would have been okay to make it longer than the first two in order to add some detail to the end. But overall, I enjoyed the series, though the first, because of its power and surprise, was my favorite.
