This is one of the worst (or best, depending on how you look at it) cliffhangers ever.
In this book I think Peeta changed a little. And I also realized that Peeta is not always the piece of cardboard that I thought he was. I mean, the story is from Katniss's point of view so we can't see what he is thinking. If the story was from his point of view maybe it would be the other way round.
I think I lowered my rating because there was not a lot of action. There was action but not as much as The Hunger Games and I expected it to have even more action than The Hunger Games.
A lot of the time, I did not understand why Katniss did what she did and Gale was completely excluded which was a shame because if I had to chose between Peeta and Gale it would definitely be Gale. At least he has a personality. But I still rated it four stars, because I really liked it. The end was not the best and it took me a while to finish this (I don't know why) so I will not read Mockingjay right away (I do want to read it) but it was interesting, and that is the highest praise I can give this book.
