There's no much to add from the previous books, to be honest. 

It lost me at some point, when the Holo was introduced. But I reconnected with it after it, I even shed tears alongside Katniss. Felt her losses. 

Would have loved to live a little more in their new world, but that wouldn't feel much like an ending, would it. 

Anyways, I absolutely loved this series. I love Peeta, and I love Katniss, and I want them to live as happy as they can be.

this book absolutely broke me. oh my goodness. i didn’t expect it to be so depressing. 

okay, first off, peeta. he’s had to go through so much. i cried when he tried to choke katniss. it was just so sad seeing how badly he was tortured. honestly, it was worse than death. i was glad when his humanity slowly started coming back. obviously, he was never really the same. the nightmares and traumas never go away. i just wish i could reach through the book and hug him

katniss. katniss had a really rough time. first her father, then rue, then cinna, then peeta, finnick, and prim, and even gale somewhat. throughout the whole series, she had been forced to play Games. even in the rebellion, she was just part of coins games. she never really got to get away. she experienced so much trauma and grief—too much for a 17 year old. we see her experience suicide attempts, depression, and all sorts of trauma. even after she got married and had kids, she wasn’t necessarily happy or at peace. the Games will always be a part of her. 

gale. if you are team gale, i suggest you don’t keep reading this. gale should’ve died. he should’ve died instead of finnick. i will forever hate gale. he didn’t even try to save peeta’s family. he created the weapon that killed prim. he’s heartless. he didn’t try to save finnick, or even let katniss try. honestly, he should’ve died instead of finnick. plus, it would create a better storyline since katniss “loved” gale. i will forever be team peeta. gale doesn’t understand or show any sympathy to peeta or even katniss after the Games. does he not know what the suffered? anyways, as you can tell i think gale is jealous of peeta and let that take over his life. 

finnick. oh finnick. i love him so much. in my heart, he’s still alive. he was probably my favorite character. he’s definitely one of my fictional husbands. i feel so bad for annie. i was so happy for them. i wonder if finnick even knew about the baby. he didn’t deserve to die like that. it infuriates me. he could’ve lived happily with his family after snow and coin died. he was so close to making it out alive. i’m just so depressed and frustrated about his death. he deserved better, so did annie and the baby. 

i was actually mad about finnicks death. this goes along with cinna as well. they got pretty much a singular paragraph, if that, about their deaths and then everyone moved on. i will never move on from their deaths. in my opinion, finnicks death was 3 times worse and more depressing than prims. it actually enrages me. 

overall, i really liked this series. it didn’t make me feel happy though. i felt dissociated and mournful during the series. it makes me sad knowing, even though katniss and peeta had a somewhat happy ending, they could never actually be truly happy. they can never forget what happened. not just in the games, but during the rebellion, when peeta got hijacked, the death of loved ones, it will never go away, and it never can.

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.

Oh my gosh, where to begin? This story made me realize how fortunate I was with life. The people in the districts struggle for their basic needs like food, and it always breaks my heart. Katniss was badass until the end, damn, my girl, you're unstoppable and inspiring❤️ Prim😭 It's a good thing, she eventually was with Peeta and their kids💕 I liked that this has a hint of reality tv because it made the story fresh. But damn, the characters truly struggled a lot, Peeta seeing Katniss as a villain and all that. There were a lot of deaths and it was a pain to read😭 Overall, a great trilogy✨ Fast-paced and gripping❤️ Thank you, Suzanne😍
