Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has survived the Hunger Games twice. But now that she's made it out of the bloody arena alive, she's still not safe. The Capitol is angry. The Capitol wants revenge.
Who do they think should pay for the unrest? Katniss. And what's worse, President Snow has made it clear that no one else is safe either. Not Katniss's family, not her friends, not the people of District 12.
Powerful and haunting, this thrilling final instalment of Suzanne Collins's ground-breaking The Hunger Games trilogy promises to be one of the most talked about books of the year.

Review by: anistasya
Dated: 19th of November, 2010
A stunning finale to one of my absolute favourite young adult series of all time. What began as a less gory, more intelligent version of Battle Royale in Collins' first book, The Hunger Games, has grown and evolved into a beautiful and philosophical love story set at the edge of civilization. It's the sort of story that makes you think 'what would I do in that situation'. It makes you care about the characters and then sometimes it takes those characters away, but ultimately, it is a story that leaves you with some hope for humanity at the end of the world - which I really appreciate.
Definitely a story for the more mature end of the young adult spectrum, it has a darkness to it comparable with the final Harry Potter books. I would also highly recommend reading this trilogy in order as each book is intimately linked to the next. By the time you have read the first two, you won't need a review to recommend the final book - it will be a must read.
