Finished this about 15 minutes ago, and my head is still spinning a bit at the ending.
My biggest frustration with Hunger Games (what, no rebellion?) is totally answered in this one. It begins as exploring the aftermath of the Hunger Games (and what they can do to a person), but then much, much more begins to happen.
Though I felt like one key plot aspect was a bit of a copout, the resolution to it all totally worked for me. Definitely a wild ride, and one that left me gasping and talking back to the book at various times. I am totally in love with both Peeta and Katniss. I could do without the love triangle, but it's not too distracting.
One disadvantage to reading an ARC--I have to wait even longer for book 3. . .
