After The Hunger Games and Catching Fire, Collins had set herself up to write an amazing third and final book in the trilogy. To be honest, though, she fell short. Don't get me wrong, it was a very, very good book, but I can't help but feel disappointed.
The plot was interesting and twisted me around in a million different ways. The characters grew a lot from the first book, and new one's were introduced. The issue I had was how the book made me feel emotionally (sounds sappy, I know). I like books that make me feel good and give me closure. This book? Not so much.
It starts where Catching Fire left off: With Katniss and Gale and District 13. Peeta is in the capitols clutches and time is running out for everybody, but Katniss soon realizes there is more than one threat pushing her into a corner. She struggles for what is right, just trying to stay alive.
The real excitement doesn't start until much farther along, whereas the majority of the book is filled with pointless details and things we've been over a lot in the previous books.
This being said, it is no doubt a great series that should be read by anyone who can get their hands on it.I will keep a watch out for any more books that may be written by Collins, and in the meantime keep this series on my "Favorite Books" shelf.
