"Because an angry, independently thinking victor with a layer of psychological scar tissue too thick to penetrate is maybe the last person you want on your squad."

I complained that the end of the first book was a little too predictable and the second had far too much power in the hands of the Capitol. This one, to me, is as near perfect an end of a series as I've seen.

The viewpoint throughout the entire series has been spot on, seeing it through the eyes of the main character really packs a punch. There's a great deal of psychological trauma, of course; and lots of death and sadness, which is perhaps not explored as fully as it could be. On the whole, though, it's a dependably solid end to a stunningly action-packed series.
