** spoiler alert ** 
 I'm sad to see this story end. I must admit I would have been perfectly happy with just the first book and I'm still not 100% sure it had to be a series, however I enjoyed the second book much more than I had anticipated and was eager to read this one. 
 It's much more of a war type novel than the previous two, I guess though the other two books contain some sense of rebellion they weren't as geared towards rebellion as this one was- and that was something I expected after how Catching Fire ended. In some ways it made me like it less. It felt so much more, I don't know, planned, I guess. In The Hunger Games Katniss was just going with the flow really, following her heart if you want. In this she seemed less in control in a way, more manipulated. I didn't really like how there was something a bit wrong about how she thought she was being independent. I guess by he end she did though and it shocked me. I never ever expected for her to shoot Coin, but I understood it. Really the only thing good about Snow is that she wasn't Snow. She seemed to be just as power hungry. She was willing to sacrifice Katniss so she would win power. She even wanted to do what Snow did, use the Hunger Games to show how powerful she was. Maybe only once but if anyone in the capital is innocent surely it's the kids? I was surprised Katniss voted for it though, I mean she knew what it does to people, she'd let more people go through that?
