On my past reviews, I didn't talk much, didn't explain my feelings as much as I wanted too because I figured whatever I said wouldn't be complex enough to talk about this. And I know, I know, someone may look at this and think you know what it never was? that serious. it was never that serious. But for the last week I've been consumed by this trilogy, read it day and night, while I washed my hair and painted my nails. So it's a bit serious.
I decided right after I finished reading this that I was going to talk about the series as a whole in topics, but this won't work. However, I'll try not to be lengthy.
First of all, I'd like everyone to know that Gale Hawthorne will always be my number one enemy. This motherfucker was the worst friend in the world. I can't believe he exists in the same world as Peeta Mellark. God, it feels profane to even compare them.
Then, I'd like to talk about the characters that actually mattered. Katniss Everdeen is one of the, if not THE single best character I've read. I love how her brain works. I loved seeing the revolution growing inside her, I loved to see the way she understood what it all really meant. I guess, in parts, we watched a bit of her understanding more and more of the world, and how much power she could have, not only because she was the mockingjay, but because she was there. It's sad that, through all the books, the reader has to watch her go through heavy PTSD and new traumas while still being a child. But she got the ending that not only she deserved, but was hers to begin with. It should never have been stripped from her.
Peeta Mellark is the kindest person in the world, the kindest human ever written. I wish I could see everything through his eyes, I feel like the world would have a softer edge. He was just a boy in love with a girl, and his development was harsh and cruel. I wish he had been my childhood book crush, I'd have cried for him, loved him, read fanfictions about him. I understand why Haymitch took care of him like he was his own.
Even if this book was rough and bittersweet, I understood it. I understood the decisions taken, both by the characters and the author, so there's that. I don't think someone who reads books to take a break from the world would necessarily love this, because their world is not peaceful. I think the best part of the way Suzanne Collins wrote this book was that you could really see the way things were happening, and why. It isn't less bittersweet, just understandable.
The plot is very basic if you think too much about it. Battle Royale, dystopia. So, to me, the characters carried it. This is usually the main reason why I read books, to find people like Peeta and Katniss (not fucking gale). This is who I recommend the series for, who likes well-written characters. And who likes a basic plot like Battle Royale being taken by great hands such as Suzanne Collins' and being transformed into something that I really think will stick with you for a while - if you take it as serious (worringly) as i did.

Heaviest book of the three. The main cast goes off the deep end. One of the character sacrifices themselves for the others. Several characters die.readingwithkaitlyn's review against another edition
