Okay. We've reached the third and final (and most outrageous) piece of the story. This one is pretty different from the first two, but easily the most nerve-wracking. I'll be honest here. I spent most of this book hunched over the pages, riddled with tension and biting my finger nails (something that I very seldom do). It was that mentally aggressive.
By now, characters you liked have died. Characters you like are fighting for their lives. Another rebellion has begun! The districts have decided to take on the capitol once more. But how did we get there? What happened? How many casualties are ahead of us? Aha! You must read the books to know!
The writing must be commented on here. The emotion that seeps from the pages makes you feel like these are your friends and you want to protect them. You want to tell them to run, to flee, to hide. You feel so invested. How often does a writer manage to grip you so hard and keep you there until you're crying through the entire last chapter of the third book? It's not right. It's not often. It's amazing that Suzanne Collins wrote in a way that makes it all feel so real.
If you want a wild ride that keeps you wanting more, read these books. I promise it's more than worth it.
