See allThis book was able to get me back into reading. I couldn't put the book down at all. The ending was a bit predictable but that didn't take away from the book at all. The characters were enjoyable and I liked being able to see each persons perspective and how they felt about the events happening. The main characters were able to show growth and change through-out the book. It flowed well too. Overall I would recommend the book to anyone who wants to get back into reading or anyone who wants an introduction to mystery and thriller with a touch of romance!
3 1/2 stars
This book felt longer than necessary. I despised how Jacob was treated. It seemed so unfair for Bella to string him along while knowing her heart would always belong to Edward.
The book had a lot to live up to (expectation-wise). I grew up watching the franchise and I finally decided to jump into reading the book. It was worth every second. Katniss is much more enjoyable in the book then in the movie. It was easy to root for her. You get to know Katniss better in the book. The relationship between Peeta and Katniss was also enjoyable to watch unfold. Even if Katniss was too dense to realize that Peeta truly does have feelings for her. I would most definitely recommend.
Reading this was a journey. Not because the book is bad but because it was just difficult to enjoy reading something with such an unlikable main character.
I will admit there were parts where I felt bad for Coriolanus and then I remembered what he did to Finnick and my tear ducts became dry. And I think that's what I don't like about this book. How unnecessary it is. I already knew Coriolanus Snow was a terrible person. And I feel like characters such as Sejanus were just added to add to that point. They built up their friendship for his to die due to Coriolanus' selfishness.
The whole book just felt empty to me.
The whole time I'm reading I just knew Sejanus and Lucy Grey wouldn't make it. And that made me so fucking sad.
The fact that Lucy Grey's story and Hunger Game was hidden and never heard of again makes me so fucking sad. Lucy Grey was someone who was kind and strong, who beat the odds and deserved a happy ending. We will never know if she got a happy ending. Also, I never once believed that Snow actually loved Lucy Grey. It felt like he loved the attention and fame he got by being associated with her.
Overall, this book made me extremely depressed and I regret reading it.
While the Twilight franchise isn't perfect, I found myself deeply enjoying each and every moment I had with it. The writing isn't the greatest but it doesn't have to be. You can practically feel the love Bella and Edward have for each other without needing extravagant words depicting it.
The subtle transformation Bella has when she's a vampire is the most well written thing. No more blushing or feeling embarrassed or being extremely shy. Bella was now outgoing and more herself than anything.
This series will always be so precious to me and this was the perfect ending.
I will say that I didn't particularly enjoy Jacob's section. He quickly became a least favorite character for me.
