now to be fair, while 14-year-olds were ostensibly the target audience, how many 14-year-olds were really equipped to deal with the themes and questions put forward by mockingjay? how were 14-year-olds supposed to understand what was going on with president coin, or why katniss didn’t make her romantic choice until the last paragraph in the most undramatic manner?
so i stand by my belief that the hunger games should not have been YA books. mockingjay does tell a good story, even with all its tragedies, which is evident when you’re 27. but that good story is ridiculously rushed. so my new the hot take is that mockingjay should have been two books. i think both more things needed to happen plot-wise in the revolution, and we needed more time spent on some of the things that did happen. (admittedly an argument that could be made for any of these books).
conveniently taking this stance means the controversial stance that it was correct to have two mockingjay movies is further validated. it SHOULD have been two movies because it should have been two BOOKS!!!!!!!!

Also, some people complain about the love triangle between katniss, gale, and peeta. However, I don't think this book is a romantic thing. It doesn't have the same feel as the other books.
Some people complain about the book being boring, but that's not the case for me. The only boring part for me is (slight not really spoiler) when there is that long period of time when snow is alive and katniss is silent. Personally, this is the most boring book of the three, only because in the first and second book included the actual hunger games and not becoming part of the Capitol. But, let's face it, we all saw it coming.
If y'all really don't like this, I can see why, but I give this a 5/5!
