This book is a series of incomplete thoughts and lacks the suspense and world building of the previous two novels completely. Half of the drama and action of the story takes place elsewhere or while our narrator is hiding, recovering or in a drugged haze.

Just stop at Catching Fire and write your own ending. It will be better.
