The last two chapters are by far the best parts. Leaves things to be questioned as all great things do!!

Brilliant story that had me hooked the entire time. I have never hated a main character as much as I have reading this but that's what makes it amazing. The character's we're amazing and so well explored.

The story line was alright at best. It was hard to as there was sooo many characters that I was constantly googling too figure out who was being mentioned.

Simply briliant how Suzanne Collins knows how to portray Coriolanus, just an incrible read.

Moderate: Medical content and Suicidal thoughts

Minor: Vomit

Definitely heavy themes like other hunger games books but didn’t feel as dark or violent as those. I didn’t noticed any cursing but the themes still make me question why this series was marketed as a YA book. I doubt teens understand the significance of these books from a critical thinking standpoint and the themes are so heavy.
