[Spoilers for book 1 and 2 of the series]

I first read this book two or three years ago and didn't remember much about it. Now, having read it again I was totally blown away with this book. I totally forgot how much I loved the "The Hunger Games" series and am glad to have picked up the book again before watching the movie (which is totally awesome guys!). I loved how the characters were portrayed and think that the character development was extremely well done.

The focus on the last book of the trilogy lies on politics, how the lines between good and bad blur during a war and how everybody just wants to win no matter the costs.
It was also a very emotional read that made me cry, especially in the last part of the book. Katniss who has always been so strong seems to break in the aftermath of the destruction of her district.
Torn between her responsibility being the symbol and somewhat leader of the rebellion and her fears and feelings Katniss becomes an even more complex character than in the previous books. All the other more important characters have to change as well as life will never be the same again after the rebellion.

All in all, this book is a very good example of the way war effects people. A must read series for everyone!
