Going back and rereading this really reminded me how well it wraps up all the political tension built throughout the trilogy. It’s a satisfying and intense conclusion that leans heavily into the themes of war and power.

I really appreciated how it explored the fallout and trauma of the other tributes—not just Katniss. Characters like Johanna and Finnick really added depth. That said, the shift to political warfare made parts of it feel a bit slow at times - especially if compared to the movie … nonetheless, a strong end to the trilogy.
