Mediocre and Dark
Getting straight to the point, I thought this book was very mediocre. Overall, after reading the series, I thought there was very little character development through Katniss as she is protagonist throughout the series. Her character doesnt learn anything or grow or evolve by the end of the last book, which in some sense is understandable because she is dealing with the traumas of war and all the horrible events she has had to endure. However, in saying that, there is nothing I took away that really made her a rememberable character to me. Yes, she has faced and had to deal with so many horrible situations, but there are very little things that she does that I really connected to as the reader in which I could learn from her actions or get behind her and really root for her character and what shes doing. I expected more from her as the protagonist. As reviewed by Alex Chiodo
