I'm going to rant about this book a bit, but stick with me, because in the end it turns out I kinda liked it... but only in the end.
It's interesting to read the three novels in this series just to observe the female approach to a “heroic adventure novel”. Yes we have a female protagonist, but this entire story is also told from the female perspective. And I have to say, it’s just … weird.

Loved it. STILL gotta love Peeta Lol
Loved that the ending was suitable to a true dystopian book.
Bittersweet, but still sweet enough to make it worth reading.
It was a good enough series to read again someday.
Definately a keeper.

I can't say enough good things about this series.
It's absorbing. Affecting. I wish I had had more time to devote to reading it all at once as a trilogy, but am happy that each of the books offered enough reflection on the previous titles to keep the plot and characters fresh in my mind.

This had me so twisted up in emotional knots that I had a headache. The only problem I had was that the very ending seemed too tidy. Yeah, I know lots of horrible stuff happened, but I didn't get to see how CERTAIN things were worked out to make the end possible. The end is what I wanted, but how did it happen? The detail oriented part of me wants to know.

Overall i thought this book was a good finish to the series.
There are a few things i would have liked to seen her do different, but a great book and terrific series, I highly recommend the entire series to everyone to read.
