The three stars are because I experience a distinctly unpleasant tension associated with feeling uncertain as to whether the author will kill off one of the main protagonists by the time all is said and done. (I know, I know–it's YA. Still, Suzanne Collins is a harsh literary mistress). Less pleasant, but no less urgent, is my current need to KNOW HOW IT ALL ENDS. I'm mostly through “Mockingjay,” so I suppose tension of any sort will soon be relieved. Small comfort, I suppose :P
