My sister told me about this book being her favorite of the series, and I understand it.

Watching Katniss slowly realize that the rebellion was happening because do her action in the 74th Hunger Games and that she actually might was the rebellion to happen was nice. Katniss' inner dialogue as to why she didn't want it was reasonable. All she's ever cared for was her sister and now her mother. She has to make a choice, either risk it all and continue with the rebellion, or stop and go along with whatever Snow says.

The romance isn't as prominent mainly because Katniss doesn't exactly know what her feelings for Gale are. Does she actually love him romantically? Or does she love him in a more big brother sense? I think that Katniss doesn't exactly know what these feelings are due to the fact that she's only 17 and hasn't felt this way about anyone. Her choosing Gale was a result of Peeta not talking to her. Gale was there for her when she was recovering from the aftermath of the games. In her mind, her feelings for Gale must be romantic. But they aren't.

Finnick is the loml.

Haymitch needs to chose his words better.

Peeta deserved the world.

And Cinna was done extremely dirty.
