I thoroughly enjoyed the entire series, but in some ways I found this book to be the weakest of the three. Rather than following the action-packed structure of the other two books, Collins moved this story more slowly. While I applaud the effort and appreciate that she really could not put the characters through a third official Hunger Game, Katniss in the hospital and doing promo videos is not the most interesting part of the trilogy.
Overall, I did not find this trilogy or this specific part of the trilogy to be overly gory. Yes, people die. Yes, Collins does describe what is happening. But her focus does not seem to be grossing the reader out. Her focus seems to be making us think about what the true meaning and cost of war is.
But I loved that she ended the book in a positive way, with hope for a brighter future. That was my favoirte part.
