I wanted to love this book. The 1st and 2nd book were actually good, but i couldn’t find it in my heart to like this one. For starters, Katniss spent more time in the hospital having nightmares than fighting with the rebels. I was hoping she would fight with them for most of the book, but that didn’t happen. Secondly: Her reunion with Peter

(both times: hospital and District 12)

felt flat. I was looking forward to it, and was left disappointed when it happened. 
The death of two of the characters was heart wrenching. They were completely unnecessary, but it is what it is, i guess.
The book was too long and had little to offer but tragedies and horrors. I get it was a war, but i don’t know, it felt like she was trying to keep Katniss unable to fight so as she didn’t have to describe what was happening with the rebels and the war. The writing felt lazy.
I didn’t love it. It had potential, but she wasted her time describing nightmares.

"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.

Finally finished!! Took me awhile to read since I kept needing to take breaks to preserve my mental health - but an engaging read and wonderfully written. Suzanne Collins, you've done it again 👏
