I read this in only about three sittings. It was fast, tightly paced and really engaging. In fact, after I finished the book, I immediately went onto my local library website to place a hold for the next part. I can't wait to read more. 
 And it's that waiting, that knowing that this is part of a larger trilogy that makes me inclined to wave off some of the problems--with worldbuilding and character development. Because there's still much more to go. And I really want to see the repercussions. And see more defiance. And gain more depth into some familiar faces. 
 Because as much as I really liked Katniss, her emotional denial thing was starting to wear on my nerves by the end of the book. And I can already see the "will she or won't she" game taking shape for the future, which is disappointing and annoying. But, the premise is enough to keep me into the series. And I am genuinely excited to see where it will take me.
