Amazing end to the trilogy! It had me hooked beginning to end, I finished it in less than a day. Katniss is such an interesting character, I love how she is portrayed as human, not as this perfect protagonist. Also just they way Suzanne Collins wrote all the characters was amazing. They all had such depth. All the deaths were heartbreaking.

maybe not Alma Coins ;)

Wow this book is just incredible, this is my 2nd time reading it (first time was a long time ago) and is just such an amazing book, so tragic and emotional and intense. This really is just as good as the hunger games and catching fire, like it’s obviously not focusing on the actual games but it’s different and much more reality focuses with the war and the Capitol and District 13 and everything. It’s just intense and keeps you engaged the whole time. I could say so much more about this but i’ll leave it at that for now, again it's amazing, the whole trilogy is, probably my favorite book series ever now.

Mockingjay is a brilliant example of dystopian fiction. As a sequel, it draws on the previous books without replicating them, which is shockingly absent in much of YA fiction. It feels like a truly accurate representation of a true dystopia being taken down by a revolution, which is to say there cannot be a happy ending. And there isn't.

There's only the event, the grief that follows it, and the steady eventuality of learning how to live again, albeit not entirely happy.

Collins' expression of PTSD, through pretty much every character, is painfully accurate. No, the characters don't return home unscathed. It's a beautiful and necessary and heartwrenching book.
