Mockingjay

Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


In this third and final book of the Hunger Games trilogy Katniss Everdeen wakes in District 13 after being carried out of the Quell Games in Catching Fire. District 12, her home, has been destroyed. Katniss must decide if she will become the Mockingjay, the voice and face of the rebellion. Peeta has been taken hostage by President Snow and is seen in short propoganda video clips. Katniss agrees to be the Mockingjay but only if all the victors will be granted immunity. Katniss begins making her own propos and the rebellion is going strong. Eventually all the districts are under rebellion control. A group of star soldiers including Gale and Katniss are sent into the Capitol and believe they will see minimal fighting. They are instead thrown right in the middle of the fighting and Peacekeepers search to find them all. Katniss is determined to get to Snow and finish this war.



I waited some time to read this third book which may be why I didn't completely fall in love with this book. It took me some time to remember the stories behind the other victors. Unlike the first two books in the series, there are a lot of down times and the action doesn't really start until the end. The love triangle is strained and lacking. The ending was very unexpected on many levels.
