 collins is able to raise the stakes and keep you invested in the characters and the plot and even in the new characters. the additions to the lore are fascinating and you want to know more. katniss’ grief and mental state is also interesting to explore but equally devastating.

This is one of those books where I wonder about the characters afterwards because I keep thinking about them. Because both this book and the last feature the main characters in the Hunger Games, the layout is kind of similar. I also noticed more in this book that Katniss plays right into the "not like other girls" trope, which is disappointing. I also felt like narrator choice for this book wasn't quite right. Katniss is a hunting, rough, scrappy character, and the narrator had an extremely proper style of speaking.

ok. first off. i WILL BE SUING FOR CINNA’S DEATH. HE DIDN’T DESERVE THAT! 

when peeta said “if it weren’t for the baby” my soul left my body. 

don’t get me started on finnick. he is an angel. i will forever love him. he deserves every sugar cube in the entire world. when he tried to protect mags i cried. i actually cried. more for him than for her honestly. i’m nominating mags as my new grandma. 

a note to katniss: JUST MARRY THE BOY WITH THE BREAD OH MY GOODNESS! peeta is so perfect and he always puts her over him. 

this was a pretty good book overall!

As someone who only watched the movies I loved the book. The characters more fleshed out, Katniss more unreliable narrator. Peeta being undeniably good. The story had such a flow that I couldn't stop reading. The deaths in the book hit harder than any movie could which makes me feel nervous for Mockingjay.
