Pretty enjoyable despite being a blatant cash-grab. (view spoiler)[ Mockingjay anyone? (hide spoiler)] 
 To steal a joke from screenjunkies 
 Oh well, this series remains my guilty pleasure. Although, I do wish it had been written with a little more love, care, and just a smidgeon of originality instead of coasting off that still flowing wave of Hunger Games success. 
 I mean, sleeping together without, y'know, "sleeping together..." Totally stolen from Catching Fire. "I am the Lightning Girl" = "I am the Mockingjay." First-person present-tense narration... I mean, c'mon, do they think we're idiots, the book is literally written in the same style as The Hunger Games for goodness sake! It's so obvious that Mare is just a cheaper knock-off Katniss, except Katniss is a way more likeable and better protagonist in every conceivable way (And in light of Mockingjay, that's saying something. You know you dun goofed Aveyard). 
 But still, I had fun while reading it, and that's all that counts... I guess... I dunno, you be the judge of that. I enjoyed it, but all its major flaws disqualify it from ever being listed among my favorites.
