Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has survived the Hunger Games twice. But now that she's made it out of the bloody arena alive, she's still not safe. The Capitol is angry. The Capitol wants revenge. Who do they think should pay for the unrest? Katniss. And what's worse, President Snow has made it clear that no one else is safe either. Not Katniss's family, not her friends, not the people of District 12. Powerful and haunting, this is the thrilling final installment of Suzanne Collins's groundbreaking Hunger Games trilogy. - Publisher.

It was a good book but not as good as the first. Maybe I just thought it ended without much fanfare? Maybe I was miffed that she ended up with, who I thought, was the wrong person? I don't know. I do know that the ending got a bit crazy and what Katniss did do at the ending was something that I expected. I just thought that the first and second books were fun and pushing towards something bigger in scope. Not hope but a lesson or moral tale. Well, on to the next book.

While I saw a lot of the ending coming, I didn't see it all. Mostly because I make an effort /not/ to try and guess an author's intentions. I thought this book was great, it tied the story together in a way that, in my opinion, justifies the raw and disturbing nature of the story. An excellent read.

The back third of the book picked up the pace and interest again, but the front end really felt pedestrian after the hi-jinks of the arena in the previous two volumes. The story morphed into a standard war against the bad guys with Katniss effectively sidelined (a pity for such an interesting and proactive character). At least it ended kind of happily although some elements felt rushed eg the resolution of the love triangle happened off-stage, and did a certain other secondary character really have to die?

The first half was promising, but the ending was raher disappointing. I think the author might have overreached in tying things up into a neat no-more-sequels package.
