3 stars - Kind of got me out of a reading slump, and the things I liked are:
 
- Katniss basically killing two birds with one stone

Spoiler

when she killed Coin (which btw I GASPED), and Snow practically choked to death

- Johanna flipping Mason!

Things I didn't like:
- The pace? What happenned???? Things were happening slower bcs of the change of pace
- The many new characters made my brain hurt. There was very little time to get to know them

Spoiler

which didn't really cause feelings or emotions when some of them died...

 
- Some deaths were unnecessary

Spoiler

FINNICK?? PRIM??!!!! UNCALLED FOR

- When we finally see Effie again, we barely hear anything from her
-All the detailed promo/propo stuff
- The writing...
- The fact that Katniss didn't really have a choice in who she ended up with

Spoiler

The fact that there's a final Hunger Games with the Capitol's children is insane

All in all, it was okay. A teensy bit disappointing imo but yeah
