MockingJay by Suzanne Collins
I read Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. It is the third and final book of the Hunger Games trilogy. It takes place right after the second book, Catching Fire, left off. Katniss and Peeta just “escaped” their second Hunger Games and find themselves in the hands of District thirteen who was supposed to be wiped off the face of Panem. The whole book they are recuperating and training to fight in a new rebellion against the Capitol.
I liked this book but I hated it at the same time. The plot was spectacular and made very well. The climax got so intense so fast. I kept my nose in the book for so long that it was over in three days. That’s when it ended and I couldn’t believe the finally. I couldn’t think of a better way to end the series, but it hit me to heart. Prim died. Katniss killed coin. Peeta and Gale both live. Snow dies from a totally accidental death. Katniss picks Peeta to be her husband. The complete opposite of what I thought would happen actually happened. I loved it but hated it. That’s how amazing Mocking jay really was.
