Mockingjay completes a trilogy in a crescendo of violence and trauma. Katniss has survived two Hunger Games, but recovering from the trauma and finally defeating the Capital is a burden that she can barely bear. The frank discussion of the PTSD and mental psychosis that comes from so much death and devastation in a teenager is a breath of fresh air from how many childhood traumas are handled in fiction. The ending is bittersweet but offers hope for a future of healing. A riveting and visceral ending to a series that has changed how I see the world for the better.

This book perfectly rounded of the trilogy, by Katniss defeating the capital. I thought it was very fast paced and intense. It was interesting how in this book Effie was barely mentioned but in the movie she was there in district 13. Also, some parts of the book went too fast I couldn’t fully appreciate what was happening and it got a bit confusing at times where the star squad were. Despite that I thought the characters were written really well and the plot was intense.

4.0

Mockingjay is the third book in "The Hunger Games" series and it's my lowest rated book out of the three. 

The first two books seemed to have non stop action, and while this book had action, it takes a while to start up. The whole first third of the book is about

life at District 13

and it was a bit boring. 

When I first read this in my early 20s I was a Gale fan, I was rooting for Katniss to end up with Gale.

In the past, when she ended up with Peeta, I was disappointed.

Now that I'm in my early 30s I'm not disappointed with the epilogue, I was team Peeta this time around. 

I didn't 100% love the ending but this was still a good book, overall. Even though this was the lowest rating I've given a Hunger Games book (both the first books got 5 stars from me) I still enjoyed it. 

I'm giving this 4 stars out of 5. 

I listened to this for free on scribd
