I'm not sure how I feel about this book. It was good - very good, in fact, but I think that I liked Catching Fire better. The rebel war heats up in the final volume of this trilogy. Once again, many people die. There is conflict for Katniss as she tries to work with the president of District 13 who is in essence the leader of the rebellion. Katniss has become the much loved or much hated (depending upon which side you are on) of the rebellion. It's a role about which she has conflicting feelings. And, when she loses her beloved sister, Prim, I was almost angry with the author. Keeping Prim (and her mother) safe was the whole reason Katniss became involved in the first place. Still she struggles with her feelings about Gale and Peeta which is resolved at last in the final pages of the book.
