Not sure how I feel about this one. Plot didn't seem as tightly woven as the first two and the ending was a bit yawnable. I'm sure there is a ton of underlying theme that one could spend thinking about and as such this would be great reading for high school seniors to discuss. In all, I was entertained and will probably read her other books.

Where do I begin.
Many things happened in this book. There were moments filled with tears and heartbreak and smiles and times where I just wanted to throw the book across the room. Out of all of the series, I think this is the book in where Katniss just grows even further (if that was even possible). However, what I didn't like was that in some of the battle strategy areas, I had to read twice because I wasn't really comprehending what they were saying. Let's be honest here. I'm not in the army, I have no idea what bombs will detonate the fastest, which guns will shoot more accurately, so there were some times where I just wanted to skip to the end.
Nonetheless, I will say that by the time the Epilogue came around, I was in tears. I could not believe it was over, and I spent a week reading the books.
A great bang to a beautiful series.

my favorite series ever, obviously teared up

In our current political climate, Mockingjay shook so many things in me. It was beautifully done.
