I would absolutely bump this up to a 3.5* - the two star rating is very clearly a reflection of my feelings about the ending of the series and certain events, rather than the book itself. I think there was just a lot that I missed the first time around - interesting parallels throughout, choices that Collins made, that just went over my head the first time.
I'm really looking forward to reading The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes now, since it seems like a lot of it will tie into this book and some of what was learned in it. Anyway, rereading this series was such a fun and enjoyable surprise. Shout out to all the Hunger Games gals who have since donated their books to thrift stores, which meant I didn't have to wait for library copies lol.
