I have finally finished dragging myself through this horribly written series. Even people loved the first two books seem to hate this one. Why? Because you spend the book inside the mind of a mentally unstable person. I kid you not. And not only that, Peeta also becomes mentally unstable. And then two characters that were actually growing into decent characters get killed off for no reason.
Also, the author's terrible world-building is even worse in this book. There's supposed to be a revolution going on, but I don't think Collins knows very much about revolutions; not enough to write one convincingly, anyway. All of the same issues I had with the previous two books still stand, except that each of these problems is now magnified tenfold.
Do yourself a favor, don't read it. And if someone starts talking about all the wonderful "themes" in this book and all that nonsense, don't believe them. There is nothing that makes sense in the book so how can there be themes? I'm just sayin'
Now I'm sick of this nonsense and I'm off to read, watch, and review things written by people who are actually masters of their craft. Who know what world-building is.
