It lost me at some point, when the Holo was introduced. But I reconnected with it after it, I even shed tears alongside Katniss. Felt her losses.
Would have loved to live a little more in their new world, but that wouldn't feel much like an ending, would it.
Anyways, I absolutely loved this series. I love Peeta, and I love Katniss, and I want them to live as happy as they can be.

okay, first off, peeta. he’s had to go through so much. i cried when he tried to choke katniss. it was just so sad seeing how badly he was tortured. honestly, it was worse than death. i was glad when his humanity slowly started coming back. obviously, he was never really the same. the nightmares and traumas never go away. i just wish i could reach through the book and hug him
katniss. katniss had a really rough time. first her father, then rue, then cinna, then peeta, finnick, and prim, and even gale somewhat. throughout the whole series, she had been forced to play Games. even in the rebellion, she was just part of coins games. she never really got to get away. she experienced so much trauma and grief—too much for a 17 year old. we see her experience suicide attempts, depression, and all sorts of trauma. even after she got married and had kids, she wasn’t necessarily happy or at peace. the Games will always be a part of her.
gale. if you are team gale, i suggest you don’t keep reading this. gale should’ve died. he should’ve died instead of finnick. i will forever hate gale. he didn’t even try to save peeta’s family. he created the weapon that killed prim. he’s heartless. he didn’t try to save finnick, or even let katniss try. honestly, he should’ve died instead of finnick. plus, it would create a better storyline since katniss “loved” gale. i will forever be team peeta. gale doesn’t understand or show any sympathy to peeta or even katniss after the Games. does he not know what the suffered? anyways, as you can tell i think gale is jealous of peeta and let that take over his life.
finnick. oh finnick. i love him so much. in my heart, he’s still alive. he was probably my favorite character. he’s definitely one of my fictional husbands. i feel so bad for annie. i was so happy for them. i wonder if finnick even knew about the baby. he didn’t deserve to die like that. it infuriates me. he could’ve lived happily with his family after snow and coin died. he was so close to making it out alive. i’m just so depressed and frustrated about his death. he deserved better, so did annie and the baby.
i was actually mad about finnicks death. this goes along with cinna as well. they got pretty much a singular paragraph, if that, about their deaths and then everyone moved on. i will never move on from their deaths. in my opinion, finnicks death was 3 times worse and more depressing than prims. it actually enrages me.
overall, i really liked this series. it didn’t make me feel happy though. i felt dissociated and mournful during the series. it makes me sad knowing, even though katniss and peeta had a somewhat happy ending, they could never actually be truly happy. they can never forget what happened. not just in the games, but during the rebellion, when peeta got hijacked, the death of loved ones, it will never go away, and it never can.

Katniss went from being The Girl On Fire to The Girl Who Was Set On Fire By Someone Else — just a shallow puppet version of herself. I understand her sadness to everything that happened, the anger, the hollowness, and I even enjoyed most of the parts where she's broken and depressed and just roaming around aimlessly. But for the most part it felt like she couldn't think for herself at all.
Why was the Capitol's fall told, not shown? All that build up lead to nothing at all. I don't understand the whole broadcasting-everything-they-do plot point. A majority of the rebel plot was confusing, I couldn't tell what direction it was going in. Gale vs. Peeta ended so conveniently, Katniss didn't even get to choose. Maybe it was because I got spoiled, but Finnick, Prim, and Castor's deaths didn't hit quite as hard as I expected it to. The epilogue was unnecessary but I kinda predicted it would be there from the very first book. Effie and the prep team getting spared when Cinna wasn't seems like a cop out. And I'm still mad we didn't see the Capitol's downfall.
Moving on to things I liked — I liked that Katniss ended up with Peeta and not Gale (though I do like him). I liked that Katniss shot Coin and not Snow. I liked that Snow had an unmemorable death. I liked how almost everyone has some form of trauma even after it ends. The way Katniss reacts to the scent of roses, Joanna to water, Peeta to just about anything, and how they found a way to cope with it like Finnick and his ropes, the Real or Not Real game were a nice touch. The war, the question of how far you'll go and how low you'll sink in the excuse of it, what is right and what is overdoing it, what can be justified and what is inhumane were all really enjoyable. Katniss's reaction to Prim's death was realistic. If only Katniss was there for the taking over of the Capitol, it would've been a 5 star read.
Maybe I just had high hopes for the conclusion of such a well-loved series and set the standards too high.
