I love how LB wrapped up this series. I wish more of the character/thoughts/beliefs about the characters was implied rather than plainly stated. They were obvious, repetitive, and a little too simple. BUT perhaps I'm being too harsh for a YA book. And I seriously loved how she wrapped it up. This series can kind of be seen as a fantasy version of The Hunger Games meets Harry Potter, but unlike the end of Mockingjay, I loved this one.
