I think this book was stretched out in some parts, but I honestly loved it and I didn't mind the ending at all?! I thought it was very sweet, I did however hate
Finnick's death! and not only because I love him but it was honestly so unnecessary and I don't think it added anything except MORE loss for Katniss because finnick in a way IS her bestfriend if you avoided whatever the fuck was going on with gale. And he had a child?!?! He just got married?? He finally got that OUNCE of happiness and he just gets killed off like hasn't he suffered ENOUGH?? and then the shock when I find out that Suzanne regretted his death like come on why did you do it in the first place!!!

Also as much as I dislike gale as a character I don't get the unnecessary hate he gets, like he's a perfect example of a CHILD made solider who is corrupted by war and loss, cut him some slack.
also y'all act as if he lit prim up himself? When you should be blaming and directing the that energy towards COIN for issuing the bombs that killed chilren including prim, he literally said he didn't know it would be used that way and he wasn't alone in making them, betee is a partner in this as well

Also fuck Coin that bitch had it coming from a mile away.
