The end of a journey. It is no secert that I'm not a fan of distopian books, and that I had put off reading this series for two years. I finished this book last night, I got a little lost in the conjumbled war scenes. Yes this book had the surprises that the other two had, but out of the three this was probably my least favorite. In this book time has passed since the arena that Katiness was in at the end of the second book. Here she is now living in the very strict District 13 which is not all that it was cracked up to be. Parts of the issues I had with the book was with District 13, how Katiness was used as a dolled up puppet even though there were bigger problems afloat. Rebels that were not part of 13 that joined were having trouble time adjusting to this very stick your nose where it belongs attuitude. With everyone in the book you can see the affects of war on all the character's personalities which does seem realistic considering all that they have been through (this book is no happy pick up!). I missed the character's we had met through the other 2 books. At the end there is so much that happens, where I got a little lost in the action. (view spoiler)[Part of Katiness' neutrality or denial of her emotions to these two men I wasn't sure if there should be a third guy, but how that ends up does leave the reader happy after all the terror that these characters went through. (hide spoiler)] Given all the horrors they all went through, I'm sure it was realistic, but also sad... Collins finishs the trilogy so that the readers are inside Katiness' head for the last ride of the series.
