This wasn’t the best book in the series but a great way to end Katniss’s journey of being a rebel that fought for the freedom of her people.

Another highly emotional book, which lead me to tears multiple times. Once I got roughly halfway, I wanted to stop reading. I knew from that point forward the book would become  depressing. 

Suzanne Collins is a brilliant author. No character in the series is unflawed, making the experience feel even more real. I felt my heart being ripped out multiple times . For me, the fall in rating is due to sections of confusing writing within the book. For the majority of this book and the others in this series, I was able to picture what was going on. Unfortunately, I found some of the chapters in the Capitol confusing. I re-read a few to gain a better understanding, but was mostly unable to picture what Collins was trying to convey through the text. 

Overall, I enjoyed reading this book, and look forward to recommending the series to lots of people!

The love triangle continued to be annoying but otherwise I liked the story. It reminded me a lot of ATLA in the way it addressed what lines should be crossed when handling enemies. The epilogue rubs me the wrong way because it sounds like Katnis was coerced/worn down into having children.

This book was definitely my least favorite out of the trilogy. I did enjoy it but the book had some pacing issues. Katniss really infuriated me in this book, even though she had been through a lot she is still just a teenager which i understand but her actions were uncalled for. In this book she acted in her emotions a lot and people got hurt and killed because she wasn’t thinking things through. This book was very tragic  and all of the deaths felt very unnecessary. Overall I think this book was pretty good i just think it had some flaws that could have been fixed.
