5.0

This book is devastatingly heartbreaking, and yet somehow, full of hope. I did forget how violent it gets there at the end, even more so than the movie. The way the story is constructed, with the rebels mirroring the Capitol, was brilliantly crafted, in my opinion. It's not a lot of people's favorite, but I'm always amazed at how Collins wraps up this trilogy.

Knowing Snow's background also paints this book in a different light, and I can't wait to see how that gets adapted into the movie.
