Reviews with content warning for War - Sinsajo

Just like the beginning of this series, I think I haven’t read such a strong ending in a while. The crescendo and then the calm and closure the characters get at the last third of the book is so great and satisfying.
I truly loved this series and will be re-reading it in the future.

I think this book was the least enjoyable out of all of them, but it was still a good book and a great end to the series. It definitely feels like the most violent and devastating out of all of them, and I felt Katniss's trauma deeply throughout the book. I feel like some of the beginning and middle dragged, but the ending chapters were very fast paced.

I loved this series and I'm so glad I finally read it. I loved (and sometimes loved to hate) all of the characters, especially Katniss & Peeta. Collins did a great job with world building and characterization. And she pulled no punches either! But every gory detail felt meaningful somehow.

Wow ok. That was depressing. I didn’t expect

ever single death to hit me that hard, but especially Prim’s death hurt the most. I really appreciated the last chapter and epilogue of things getting better, because man that was depressing. Katniss’ depression, dissociation, and other trauma responses were, in my opinion, well written to allow readers to easily understand her headspace and reasoning.

The one thing that confused me, and honestly pissed me off, is how Katniss voted yes to one last hunger games. Like what?? Girl, the hunger games are what got you here and you’re ok with another one???? Huh????????
Edit: I’ve read some fan theories and I kinda get it now.

Everything else about the ending, I was pretty satisfied with. The only thing is that I would have liked to know is Anne’s ok. I understand why that wouldn’t have been included in the end, but I just really hoped that she would be alright eventually.

Also I’m trying to fill out some content warnings and realizing how dark this book was. Like really really dark.
