Crap! Crap, crap, crap! The ending is horrible. Horrible! Worse than Catching Fire had been (The Huger Games Trilogy). Why does the second book always have to have the worst cliff hanger? Why? It's not fair. :( 
 This book confirms it. This series is singlehandedly the most amazing thing I've ever read. While the power-hungry idiots in here really make me want to go on a murderous rampage in their neighborhoods, they are crafted in such a way you can completely see their motive and why they're such witches-with-a-capital-b. And I think that's what I hate the most. 
 The plot is so good. Ridiculously good. I'd compare it to some of the best books out there, but that's like trying to argue over which painting is the greatest. You can't do it. 
 But, really. Twists and turns even I can't predict, a story I can't help but follow no matter how angry certain charaters make me feel. . . . And the way it's written. This author knows her stuff. It's not stuffy adult-sounding narration like a lot of YAs, nor is it overly informal to give it a younger feel. It's a perfect blend. 
 Seriously, though, the way it ended totally upset me. Next one doesn't come out for a while. It's The Hunger Games all over again for me. Ugh. I really hate it when books are this good.
