Slightly less captivating than book 2, but still a very good end to the series. I appreciate the nuance Collins brings into the plot, especially for a YA book. There is rarely a cut and dry case of good vs. evil, and watching our characters wrestle with that was a highlight for me. I knew little to nothing about how the series would end (never saw movies 2 & 3), so I had a number of fun/sad/exciting moments of surprise. Yay me for actually completing a series!! Except now there’s one, almost two prequels to go read!
