I have never read a book series where I have given each book five stars and today is the day that has changed. While I love many book series, I am also the first to admit when that book series slacks in one book or doesn’t, but when looking back at this book series I cannot find one moment where it is lacking something. Suzanne Collins perfectly has written a series that does not disappoint, leave you wondering, have slow moments (and vice versa, too fast moments), etc. She provides hope and pain perfectly and gives a realistic example of how war is. Katniss and Peeta’s story had always been one of my favorites on the screen but now reading it and getting more of it, makes me love them even more. Each character in this series was written with so much in mind and it makes me feel as if I knew them personally (and I love when a book does that). Joanna and Finnick I love you both!! This will definitely be a series to me that I reread over and over again and share with others.

This book took me so long to read because I was in a reading slump, so it says so much that despite that, I still think it's a five star book. I honestly feel so broken because of this book, and I don't know what to do with myself. It was so good, and it made me feel so hollow and so empty so many times. I usually write longer reviews, and maybe I'll come back later and edit this to make it longer, but right now, I have no idea what to say except this book was incredible, and it was the perfect end to this series.

I wish they went into more detail about the near end of the book as well as some of the deaths that happened, but it was a great read. Can't wait to read the prequel.
