"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

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.

Honestly not my favorite of the series. Had a good ending but super complicated. I didn’t like all the gore and just wasn’t well done.
