i cried. what an amazing end to a great series. truly our girl goes through the horrors. i really really love how you can have a main character being manipulated so much and yet still be such an active player in the plot.

I wanted to love this book. The 1st and 2nd book were actually good, but i couldn’t find it in my heart to like this one. For starters, Katniss spent more time in the hospital having nightmares than fighting with the rebels. I was hoping she would fight with them for most of the book, but that didn’t happen. Secondly: Her reunion with Peter

(both times: hospital and District 12)

felt flat. I was looking forward to it, and was left disappointed when it happened. 
The death of two of the characters was heart wrenching. They were completely unnecessary, but it is what it is, i guess.
The book was too long and had little to offer but tragedies and horrors. I get it was a war, but i don’t know, it felt like she was trying to keep Katniss unable to fight so as she didn’t have to describe what was happening with the rebels and the war. The writing felt lazy.
I didn’t love it. It had potential, but she wasted her time describing nightmares.
