I have mixed emotions about this series. I absolutely adored the first two films because I love a good rom com and I also love how predictable they can be. I know a lot of people hate predictability and that’s why some people don’t enjoy hallmark movies. The fact that they’re predictable is why I enjoy them so much. I love the non reality of it all. I want my favorite characters to have their happy ending, I want everyone to find love and be themselves and find themselves but also just have that insane romance. The stuff you only find in movies and books. I understand that Elle had a lot of difficult choices between the three movies. To be with Noah and forsake her friend Lee or be with Lee and make Noah mad. But I feel like it was always the same fight for them. It was either about the time they spent apart, while Noah was at Harvard for the first year or it’s about Noah and his jealousy for her wanting to hangout and spend time with her best friend. I also just didn’t enjoy the fact that Elle and Noah didn’t end up together by the end of the films. There were hints of maybe some reconciliation, but that’s it. I don’t think it’s fair that Lee and Rachel got their happily ever after but Noah and Elle only parted ways and promised to “stay in touch” basically. There is also the fact that he actually turned around for her in the third movie, if you don’t remember, at the end of the first when he was leaving her for Harvard and college he didn’t turn around as he was leaving to board the plane. I think that says a lot about character growth for him, I just wish we could’ve seen more of that side of him. More of how much his character really cared for Elle. No matter how controlling he was. I’d like to say that he maybe grew out of that jealous part of himself and wouldn’t be like that again but we would never really know. The steamy romance feeling just wasn’t in the third movie as much. I didn’t feel like there was a ton of connection between Elle and Noah, so I mean it makes sense for them to split to find eachother and themselves. I just wish there was more ooomph. But overall I enjoyed the movies, the ending makes sense it just doesn’t make me happy lol. The actors did an amazing job, I think they worked well with what they were given.

I started reading a Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes knowing that it was about Snow, but not really knowing where the storyline was headed. During every single page turn I was shocked by something one of the characters did in the book or by something someone said. Spoilers!! This book really helped me understand snow a little bit better as a character. At first I sympathized with him, but once the tributes rolled into the capitol I started to see a darker side of him. He called it “love”, but he used a lot of possessive phrases from there on out in the book. I was shocked when they sent him to the peacekeepers, but as we learned during the ending of the book.. it was all a lesson planned out by Dr. Gaul. The ending of the book itself was just so good and so unexpectedly expected. I say that in the best way possible, because I see snow as more of a self Centered Character and everything he did at the end of the book was driven by his own need and want for power. “Snow lands on top” Absolutely brilliant. Loved this read so much! It makes me want more hunger games novels, and prequels and sequels.
