"Mockingjay" by Suzanne Collins


Warning: this is third and final book of The Hunger Games. If you haven't read the first two books you may not want to read this.

Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins was a great ending for this dystopian trilogy. Just like the first two books, Hunger Games, and Catching Fire; this book had you on edge from beginning to end. The suspense was marvelous. 


Katniss Everdeen is now staying in the thirteenth district, which was once thought to be destroyed. Peeta on the other hand wasn't so lucky, he's was captured by the Capitol. As much as Katniss would like to go rescue him, she knows it's not possible, at least not yet. She met with the districts leader, and came up with a deal. She would continue being the rebellions poster child as long as all of the tributes were were granted immunity from any criminal charges they had or would have by the end of the war. Katniss wasn't happy about having to sit back and watch the fights go on, she wanted to be in the fight. Eventually she got put on a "mission" to do so. With very little time remaining in the war, will the Capitol manage to stay in control, or is the rebellion to strong this time?


I loved this whole trilogy so much, however; the ending just about made me cry. I couldn't believe what happened to Prim. That's who Katniss got into this mess for. She was always looking out for her little sister. I didn't really like how Katniss went temporarily crazy, however; I know it was realistic. All the stress she had been under and the deaths, it'd be unsettling for anyone. If you haven't read this trilogy it's a must! What side would you be fighting for the Capitol or the Districts? No matter where the power lies, there's always corruption.
