⭐️🎧Audiobook Reader🎧⭐️

What a way to end a series, my goodness. In this finale, you are acutely aware of how the characters are irreparably affected by trauma. Trauma that I don't think is accurately described as PTSD because there is no time to be post-traumatized, when the war is still ongoing.

You also follow them through their healing processes (I love the details with Finnick's knots being adopted by the others and Katniss' mantra). In this book, we get a succinct and effective happy ending in the epilogue, but it's not nearly enough for how upset I am😭 Here I come fanfiction! lol


The sheer number of losses of named characters is I think meant to reflect the overall losses that took place in the whole of Panem 'cause damn, they were dropping like flies.


Collins' signature pacing shines once again as there is not a dull moment anywhere.
Weaving the narrative into Katniss' flashbacks making them relevant to the story as a way to gauge Katniss' current mental state,
*chef's kiss*, masterfully done. It all makes sense now that she was a seasoned TV writer before coming up with this series evident through the 3-Part arc and careful handling of the subplots.

Catherine McCormick shines again as the audiobook voice, though I feel like in some places, the direction lacked as I think the wrong voices were used only a couple times. Otherwise, ex. cell. ent.
