Katniss is afraid for her life. Though Peeta has improved a bit.... he's still hijacked and hates Katniss(shocker rihgt?). Her commander Boggs, agrees that she should watch out. But Boggs is one of the first to die. Before he died he gave her command of their unit.
Katniss tells the others she has a secret mission to kill President Snow and they follow her on what turns out to be a suicide mission. One by one their team members are "sacrificed" as they make their way to the heart of the Capitol. Only five of them including Katniss, Gale, and Peeta, are left by the time they reach the center. Then they all get separated.
During the ensuing battle many innocent children die. Members of the rebels medical team including Prim, Katniss's sister are also killed. Katniss is badly wounded again. On the pluse side the rebels have gained control and have captured President Snow. Katniss visits the imprisoned President Snow who says she should blame President Coin (of the rebels) for the attack and Prim's death.We can all believe Katniss is pretty ticked off right?After all she did volunteer for the hunger games in the first book.
And maybe he's right. It appears the rebels staged the final attack. An the weapon Gale made (you know the one Katniss thought was inhumane) could have been the one that killed Katniss's sister. Katniss can't forgive him it wouldnt be right.
In a meeting right before President Snows execution President Coin says that the remaining Hunger Games victors must vote to determine whether or not the new rebel government should start up the Hunger Games again as a way to punish the citizens of the Capitol for what they did to the citizens of the Districts. (What?!?!?!I thought they were fighting to end the crule hunger games?) Katniss votes in favor. In part because of Katniss's vote the answer is yes the Hunger Games will start again.
Then it's time for Snow's execution. Katniss has the task of shooting him with her famous bow and arrow, but at the last minute, she kills Coin instead. Snow dies anyway.
At this point, Katniss has a serious breakdown. Time passes but she's pretty much in a fog. Later she learns that she was acquitted during her trial, and she's sent back to the ruined District 12, along with Haymitch and later Peeta. Gale disappears into another district.
Over time Katniss is able to grieve for her sister and the many others who died. As she begins to rebuild her life, she and Peeta restore a romantic relationship and eventually have children.(As we all thought it would anyway)
