It's been so long since I read these books the first time that it was like reading them for the first time again. My chest hurts for Katniss and all the things she had to go through.

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.

This series should be revisited by us who read it as kids. I cannot believe the new truths and unfathomable horrors uncovered by reading it again 13 years later.
