Book Review: Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

Katniss Everdeen, girl on fire, has survived, even though her home has been destroyed. Gale has escaped. Katniss's family is safe. Peeta has been captured by the Capitol. District 13 really does exist. There are rebels. There are new leaders. A revolution is unfolding.

It is by design that Katniss was rescued from the arena in the cruel and haunting Quarter Quell, and it is by design that she has long been part of the revolution without knowing it. District 13 has come out of the shadows and is plotting to overthrow the Capitol. Everyone, it seems, has had a hand in the carefully laid plans -- except Katniss.

The success of the rebellion hinges on Katniss's willingness to be a pawn, to accept responsibility for countless lives, and to change the course of the future of Panem. To do this, she must put aside her feelings of anger and distrust. She must become the rebels' Mockingjay -- no matter what the personal cost

Hands down I give Mockingjay:

4 stars out of 5.

I was really excited to read Mockingjay after finishing Catching Fire. I do admit that it was kind of hard for me to understand due to the whole District 13 thing. They do work a lot differently then the other Districts did, so it did take me a while to get the hang of it.

One of the things that I didn't like was the whole 'War' theme of this book. I feel like it wasn't really connected or even about the Hunger Games anymore.

I due admit that even though it wasn't the same, there was still a lot of action and surprises everywhere. There was even moments when I'll be screaming at my book and making a scene in public.

I am happy with the ending and with who Katniss chose as her life partner. I'm happy for them and I'm glad that Suzanne Collins did not make it a 'happily ever after' thing.

There was some things that I felt wasn't answered to me about some characters or their whereabouts. I don't know if it was because I was reading too fast and jumped over it or it really wasn't explained that well.

All in all, I'm really loved the book. It was a good ending to a wonderful series and I hope to hear more from Suzanne Collins.
