"Fire is catching! And if we burn, you burn with us!"

i want to beat gale with a stick, why did he keep appearing :|
the love triangle needed to end like yesterday
katniss' final monologue about choosing peeta about being the dandelion that calms her fire is one of the romantic things i've ever read tho

i do feel like this is the weakest installment, with the action not being as strong as I'd like it to be, but it was still a pleasant read

i like the fact that

coin is actually quite villainous too and gave the ending more nuance

kbeucler's review against another edition

4.0

The first time I read this book I was like ‘wow, why does Katniss spend so much time whining and hiding?’ But now I realize that Collins actually wrote a very accurate portrayal of PTSD and it’s honestly crazy that Katniss wasn’t more traumatized than she was. I’m also really interested in the examination of propaganda in this book. Everyone should read this book and then apply this knowledge about the way BOTH SIDES use propaganda to further their cause to the way we consume media.

I’ve enjoyed rereading this series i enjoyed as a kid. Didn’t remember just how scary it gets, and how Collins can easily shock the reader (especially towards the end of chapters) A great read- super excited to read the newer entries, but am glad the newer additions revolve around different characters- giving Katniss a proper end.

I liked this book the least of the series, but I still found that everything that happened was a very natural and necessary progression of the plot. The ending was utterly gut-wrenching.
