The end to an incredible series. I prefer the books when they are actually in the games but this still remains interesting and engaging. It divulges into some interesting topics/dilemmas of power, relationships, etc which I really liked. I liked to see a lot of the character development, especially Effie! Definitely one of my favourite series of all time, love it!!

I really thought it was amazing (and it is) BUT THE ENDING GUYS
Katniss is horrible and nobody there is really likeable but the writing style and pace are so good

It’s hard to keep up a series at the same high quality all the way through. This one did a good job. Ended differently than I would’ve liked, however. In fact, I hated what became of Katniss in the end (before the epilogue) - felt like it defeated the point of the whole series. Also, I found the twist underwhelming. Rounding up to four foot storytelling, but the story itself, because of the ending, was a disappointment.

I mostly enjoyed this book… until the last hundred pages or so, which was painful to get through and not even very enjoyable just because it’s so depressing… but otherwise, it wasn’t bad! I really liked all the politics of it and how complex all the characters were. Be warned before you read it, it’s not “fun” except for like 2 scenes maybe, but plot-wise I think it was a great end to the series.
