A devastating end to a phenomenal series. I’m not generally into war stories but this is so specific to this world and the flow of triumphs and losses is so well balanced that I can overlook that nature easily. I will never not recommend this series to someone.

I wish the ending was better. Katniss and Peeta have gone through so much, and it's alluded that they find happiness, but they'reso broken after everything it's hard to believe they feel any lasting joy.
While the world building was great, I feel as though the characters do a backslide regression in their growth and likability.

The book that they make at the end! The book, in Katniss’ handwriting with Peeta’s pictures, memorialising the dead!
