This was a brilliant ending to a wonderfully written trilogy. This book truly captured the hardships and difficulties of battle in a changing world. I could really see the changes in Katniss throughout not only the series, but the ones brought on in the events in this book alone. And there was no way she couldn't change through Mockingjay. 
 I was stricken with grief over the multiple deaths accounted for within the war, but that's what a war is, it's full of loss and grief and blood-spattered streets. But I'm still heartbroken over a certain couple of deaths that I will never get over (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)]Finnick and Prim :( *cries*. 
 Okay, I'm not very good at reviews so what I'm really trying to say is that I love this series, and I love the development between the characters throughout each one. Suzanne Collins is a genius author who really captures the nature of people within her work. She truly shows what people will do in the most desperate of times, how much they'll suffer for the ones they love, and how hard they'll fight to gain the freedom they've long deserved.
