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.

A good sequel and good closure for Katniss. Would like a sequel focused on another character too, showing what happens to Panem next.

Heaviest book of the three. The main cast goes off the deep end. One of the character sacrifices themselves for the others. Several characters die.

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
