I definitely liked this more on the re-read than I did the first time around, but it still has issues, primarily with pacing. I think finding out more about District 13 and Katniss dealing with PTSD while being forced into the role of rebellion leader via propaganda is interesting, but she is sidelined for so much of the action that there were just these big blocks of expositional text and it made me zone out. I dunno, it just doesn't work as well as the first two for me, but at least Buttercup survived. 3 lizard-mutt things out of 5.
