Spoiler

This book was awesome! Compelling and fast-paced. Damn, I felt a mixture of emotions while reading. Katniss was badass as usual. Peeta and his love for her, damn. Every victor was interesting in their ways. The tragedy, revolution, and love did it for me. I kind of regret not reading this series earlier, but I thought, I read it at the perfect time, in my early 30s. I appreciate this series a lot. I rarely read super serious books, but this one will be a reread material. Oh btw, there were a lot of horror and problematic themes also, like slavery, assault, murder, etc.

Once again, this series holds up so dang well 10+ years after first reading it 🙌 I had forgotten how much of the book is before and leading up to the Quarter Quell and just how fast the Quarter Quell is over like dang. I feel like you really start to see Katniss' relationship with Peeta evolve, even though there's still a lot of reasons she can't really process those kinds of emotions right then. I love Finnick so much. Oh, and I love seeing the sparks of the revolution really starting to fan and grow. This is definitely no longer focused on one girl's shitty situation, it's a whole ass movement. It's also really interesting seeing just how and how much the Games have affected the Victors, especially Katniss and Peeta.

Quotes:

• A mockingjay is a creature the Capitol never intended to exist. They hadn't counted on the highly controlled jabberjay having the brains to adapt to the wild, to pass on its genetic code, to thrive in a new form. They hadn't anticipated its will to live. (92)

You see a clear deterioration of Katniss' mental health in this book. There are also more details about how horrible their society is.
