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.
