I will start by saying that I didn't feel that this book lived up to the hype. I got the book on the day it was released, having pre-ordered it AGES ago from Amazon. I couldn't wait to get started as I, along with so many others, had eagerly waited for this book after reading the first two amazing books. I had really high hopes. It didn't live up to those hopes...

BUT

...it was still a great read. Granted, it didn't pull me in like the other two books did. It didn't captivate me in the same way as the others did. But yet it was still a fun, interesting read. It still kept the pages turning. There was a part that I felt slowed down a little in the middle, but the final few chapters made up for that. The final few chapters had all the action and suspense that the earlier chapters didn't. The final chapters had me on the edge of my seat wondering how it was all going to turn out.

The writing was just as good as in the first two books. I think what was lacking was the focal point of the games, which took up so much of the first two books. But then, the Hunger Games a third time would have been overkill.

In all, this was an amazing trilogy and I'm definitely glad I read it. I rarely re-read books anymore, but I have a feeling that I'll be reading these again at least once more.
