my least favourite of the trio but that's not to say it's message any less impactful

i finished the book and then instantly reread the ending.. i just honestly think its a beautiful finish to the trio. that last chapter where katniss, peeta and haymitch return to 12 is perfect to me

I really do like this book (though I like the first two better), and Tatiana Maslany was an incredible narrator. However, this final book in the trilogy is just relentless darkness and trauma and it was really hard to take on this read through.
