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.

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.

Really struggled to finish this. I was a huge fan of the first two in the series so I thought this was going to be good but I was wrong. Stupidly slow pace in the beginning but in the last 80ish pages everything started going so fast I couldn't keep up. Nothing was explained clearly enough, characters were dropping dead like flies and I had to watch the film to actually understand the ending! I still don't know who half of the characters are, I finished the book and was glad it was over with, took me three months though. Wouldn't recommend.
