This. I have no words for this story. Except... Thank you.

That. Was. FANTASTIC! Everyone was completely in character, the cannon integrity upheld nearly flawlessly, and the writing style, while still your own and adapted to finnick's character, was so much like Suzanne Collins' genius that I nearly forgot she wasn't the one writing this. I'll admit I had reservations about reading this story at first, as I feared any deviation from his fate just wouldn't be good enough to reconcile with his real fate in the books. (Even though his fate had me crying for a week, there's just something about Collins' writing that makes you accept the circumstances as appropriate and logical) I was expecting an ending that, while valiant, would fall short on believability and break the cannon. I can not commend you more for proving me wrong! You handled it both plausibly and brilliantly, and I have you to thank for curing my finnick depression and giving me a highly enjoyable read. Keep up the good work; I'll definitely be following it!

I love your story to death. It's better than Colin's could have written it!

Epic!

I just want to start of and say that I LOVE this story. It is literally perfect and it had me bawling in some chapters. I just, wow. I want to write a really long review but I'm just sobbing right now, so I can't but fantastic story ok. Just wow.

I loved this story! I basically read it only a couple days because it was so good. Finnick was always my favorite character in the series and I was devastated when he died. I imagine this to be how his life really was, and how it deserved to be in the end. Thank you for writing such a brilliant story.

Your story was amazing. Probably the best fan fic I've read and most impressively is that it's mostly original fiction. I only say mostly because most of the other ones I have read are just the hunger games from someone else's point of view whereas you took the small portions of information we get about Finnick and really create a whole new story. My only complaint is that Seneca was new or almost new for Katniss' games so he wasn't around for any of the games you mentioned. BUt other than that very well done, Thanks for writing it

Hi,
I just wanted to say how incredibly blown away I am by your story. As I was reading it, I kept-on forgetting that it was a fanfiction, and felt as though I should be paying money to read it. How you were able to come up with the character/personality of Finnick in such a brilliant way, as well as all the other minor characters, is completely astounding. You had to come up with 3 hunger games; Finnick’s, Johanna’s, and Annie’s, and I still have no idea how you did it. I’ve never read a fanfiction that was so well written and I just wanted to say that you are without a doubt, the most amazingly, exceptionally talented writer and I am just so glad that I got the opportunity to read your story.
Thank you :)

Yes! Thank you, for not killing off one of my favorite characters! Even before I read this, I still acted like Finnick was alive. Thank you so, so much!

You write like a professional!

GREAT JOB!

Oh my goodness. I am so glad I found this fic! I read your hp story where James is alive first, and found myself laughing the woke wa y through! I then decided to see if you had any more fics I might enjoy, and this was incredible! I've never read a fic from Finnick's pov before, and it's made me fall in love with the character more than I already has. The characteration is incredible, and the twist at the end was something I never expected but really loved. I am really happy for this fic, and how both of the ones I read are so different and yet so good! Thank you, and I really hope you write another HP or hunger games fic that I can fall in love with in the future!

So I've just spent the last 3 days reading this, on a whim really, because I adore Finnick and the idea of reading HIS story was something I'd never considered before. And right now I'm sitting here in tears because it was so, so perfect. From beginning to end. The way Finnick grows, his relationship with Annie and everything he goes through was so beautifully written and most of all believable. I started properly crying around Ch 75 because I knew what was coming and I couldn't deal with it, but the ending you gave was wonderful. The biggest compliment I can give you is that it is 100% head canon for me now. It happened. I don't care what the books say and what the movies are going to show. And hopefully it's going to make it easier to handle.

Thanks again for this amazing story. One of the best I've ever read! :)

OMIGOSH FINNICKS ALIVE THATS SO AMAZING I LOVE YOOOOOOOOOOU!

Hey,
Just wanted to say how much I loved this fic! It was honestly really good to see things from a different perspective, I think that Finnick's view is so important. When you think about it; if anyone other than Katniss's would have been the mockingjay it would have been him, he even went through the same sought of troubles as Katniss. In all seriousness I had to stop to remind myself that it was not Susan Collins who wrote this. You did a very good job of staying true to the original story, where appropiate. I think you have great talent and you should write another fanfiction for another of the characters, possibly Johanna? Or maybe even Clove?
