This is the second time I've read this and I think as an adult I appreciate it even more no that I understand the trauma Katniss is dealing with better. The only reason I rated less than 5 stars is just because it's a fairly heavy book, which of course makes sense for the story but it meant I couldn't read as quickly as Catching Fire.

Really struggled to finish this. I was a huge fan of the first two in the series so I thought this was going to be good but I was wrong. Stupidly slow pace in the beginning but in the last 80ish pages everything started going so fast I couldn't keep up. Nothing was explained clearly enough, characters were dropping dead like flies and I had to watch the film to actually understand the ending! I still don't know who half of the characters are, I finished the book and was glad it was over with, took me three months though. Wouldn't recommend.
