Bittersweet but fitting. This series was exceptional, and I couldn't put it down. I was legit sad when I was nearing the end because there were no more pages.

Ending thoughts spoilers galore

I can't believe my Gale and Haymitch got to survive! Katniss couldn't ever see Gale the same way after his inadvertent bomb took Prim's life. too much to overcome. the whole reason she was in the games was because of her sister. I still liked her with Gale, but he was very much on sadboy hours here. Like, it's not the time for all of that sir. But I also adored the sweet sensitivity of Peeta. Peeta truly cared about Katniss to the bitter end.

This book gets war so beautifully well. honest to God, there are no victors. And no one gets out unscathed. Katniss isn't some Wonder Woman hero in the end. she's just a young girl trying to recover. she has PTSD and a drug addiction. and then the fact they have a version of Hunger Games with the capitol's kid ... whoo!
