4.5

Audiobook - I find this book extremely powerful. When I was younger I read it simply as a slightly slow action novel, but now it feels entirely different. This book shows the struggle of a girl thrust into the midst of a war, being treated as nothing more than a glorified puppet, and how she deals (or doesn't) with her new role. The last few chapters I find absolutely heart-breaking. However, the epilogue feels like it falls flat, and I can't help but feel it is a borrowed ending from Harry Potter - I feel like the epilogue slightly takes away from the final chapter, which feels like a perfect epilogue in itself. On the other hand, this book as a whole is a very emotional, action-packed finale to the trilogy and the rebellion Katniss started with a single spark.
