Wow this book is just incredible, this is my 2nd time reading it (first time was a long time ago) and is just such an amazing book, so tragic and emotional and intense. This really is just as good as the hunger games and catching fire, like it’s obviously not focusing on the actual games but it’s different and much more reality focuses with the war and the Capitol and District 13 and everything. It’s just intense and keeps you engaged the whole time. I could say so much more about this but i’ll leave it at that for now, again it's amazing, the whole trilogy is, probably my favorite book series ever now.

Mockingjay is a brilliant example of dystopian fiction. As a sequel, it draws on the previous books without replicating them, which is shockingly absent in much of YA fiction. It feels like a truly accurate representation of a true dystopia being taken down by a revolution, which is to say there cannot be a happy ending. And there isn't.

There's only the event, the grief that follows it, and the steady eventuality of learning how to live again, albeit not entirely happy.

Collins' expression of PTSD, through pretty much every character, is painfully accurate. No, the characters don't return home unscathed. It's a beautiful and necessary and heartwrenching book.

Buttercup is probably as mighty as katniss. (And my favorite) 
This is a reread and i forgot how dark this one last book was. 

Honestly i hope people could be kind to eachother. With the war in Palestina, we're no better than fiction. What i find truly hurtful os that real people out there is really suffering from the non logical power starved leaders. 

I really enjoyed this book, but i still do not like the romance part. There's so much hopelessness in the whole story that it all seems out of place, although I guess that's the fun of it. That love can grow everywhere. (still give's me the ick all that romance, mainly in book two).

It's been so long since I read these books the first time that it was like reading them for the first time again. My chest hurts for Katniss and all the things she had to go through.
