"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.

Nälkäpeli-trilogia on mestariteos! Pohdin pitkään, annanko tälle neljäsosatähden heikomman tuloksen kuin muille, koska tässä on niin paljon raivoa ja sellaisia kohtia, joiden kohdalla haluaisi kiihdyttää omaa lukunopeuttaan, jotta ne kohdat olisivat mahdollisimman nopeasti ohi. Kuitenkin taidokas päätös trilogialle ja Nälkäpelin laajeneminen koko yhteiskuntaan sai arvostelun nousemaan tähän 4,5 tähteen.

Siis oikeasti, jos vielä puhutaan team Peetasta ja team Galesta, olen nyt, aina ja ikuisesti team Peeta. Rakastan Peetaa. Rakastan siis monia muitakin hahmoja tässä todella paljon.

I have never read a book series where I have given each book five stars and today is the day that has changed. While I love many book series, I am also the first to admit when that book series slacks in one book or doesn’t, but when looking back at this book series I cannot find one moment where it is lacking something. Suzanne Collins perfectly has written a series that does not disappoint, leave you wondering, have slow moments (and vice versa, too fast moments), etc. She provides hope and pain perfectly and gives a realistic example of how war is. Katniss and Peeta’s story had always been one of my favorites on the screen but now reading it and getting more of it, makes me love them even more. Each character in this series was written with so much in mind and it makes me feel as if I knew them personally (and I love when a book does that). Joanna and Finnick I love you both!! This will definitely be a series to me that I reread over and over again and share with others.

TIP: do not read this book if you have recently lost a family member. Even if you've read the book before amd so know what's coming.
