Erin Bronn answers “Did anyone else cry?”

A Goodreads user asked this question about Mockingjay (The Hunger Games, #3):

Did anyone else cry?

Numerous times, in fact. Mockingjay was filled with so much raw emotion that I think it would've been impossible for me not to cry. The biggest tearjerkers for me were:
(1) Prim's tragic, very sudden death;she was the sweetest character in the entire series aside from Peeta! And the one who least deserved to die. But I do understand why the author did it; that last tragedy really carried a lot of emotion, on towards the end.
(2) In all the scenes with Peeta when he was hijacked and trying to recover. It was so, so sad :(
(3) When Finnick died. Oh my gosh, but I could NOT stop crying, for days! And then I went and watched the movies and cried all over again. Finnick was one of my absolute favorite characters, and that, coupled with the fact that he had just married Annie (anyone else think their love story is one of the most precious and beautiful things ever??) made it even worse. AND then they went and told us he had a son! I pretty much lost it after that. I honestly wish Gale had died instead of Finnick; Gale's character kinda flopped in Mockingjay, and while it would've been sad, I would've survived if he died. But Finnick...his death is going to go up on my list of worst movie tragedies ever, along with Kili from The Hobbit and Jack Thornton from When Calls The Heart.(less)
