There is something to be said for a writer who at once makes you hate them for the story-choices they have made while simultaneously writes in such a way that you simply can’t stop reading. I can care about a character without feeling desolate upon their death, and a twist in the story can be shocking without leaving me shocked.Īll of this to say that Suzanne Collins, in completing her Hunger Games trilogy, has managed to write one of the most emotionally draining books I’ve ever come across, and still left me feeling glad that I had read it. I don’t cry easily, but then again it is not impossible to make me cry. To say that I have read very few books which have left me emotionally wrung out is an understatement: I could probably count them on one hand. This is going to be a difficult review for me to write, but maybe in the end it will be a cathartic one.
