This was so heartbreaking and hopeful. Collins writes pain and trauma and healing so well. Finnick's death is one I'll be mourning a long time. He is such an amazing character with a brilliantly sad back story. Him getting Annie back, being free from the capital, just in time to die. I was rooting for him and love him almost as much as I love Katniss and Peeta. I want more of all the characters, but especially him. I'd love a book of his games and the aftermath of being forced into prostitution. I'd love his perspective on Cathing Fire and Mockingjay. It would be so fascinating to see Katniss through his eyes.

I feel like I vibed with this one less than the other two but still a worthy entry. The last line goes so hard.

There's no much to add from the previous books, to be honest. 

It lost me at some point, when the Holo was introduced. But I reconnected with it after it, I even shed tears alongside Katniss. Felt her losses. 

Would have loved to live a little more in their new world, but that wouldn't feel much like an ending, would it. 

Anyways, I absolutely loved this series. I love Peeta, and I love Katniss, and I want them to live as happy as they can be.

Mockingjay makes me want to scream and cry and rip my own heart out. The trauma and the war and the whole pointlessness of it all. I love Katniss so wholeheartedly. This book destroys me.
