I didn’t expect to see like this trilogy so much - I keep forgetting there is another book, but it is of unimportance to me at the moment, since it doesn’t not actively involve katniss at all.

I literally bawled my eyes out every 5 chapters, it’s insane. Every death hurt so badly, I don’t know how Collins did it, but I’m impressed, if a little annoyed, because I was so attached to every single one of the characters. I don’t like the ending whatsoever, it somehow resembles that of ruin and rising from the shadows and bone trilogy - bittersweet, unsatisfying and just plainly sad. I guess I was hoping for a happy ending (not that is not), but I assume this is what fits best. Snows death was a little unsatisfying as well, since there was no real suspense or emotion to it, although that is what he deserved. I am speechless about everything that happened and every death that occurred.
