This is such a strong end to an already strong series. I don't usually re-read books but I had such a good time with this one. Even though I remembered the major plot points and twists this book had me in a chokehold. I couldn't put it down and my sleep schedule is now ruined. Thank you Suzzane

Did not slap as hard as the movies. 

I listened to this because I never got to complete reading the series as a teenager. However the writing.. yikes. It felt like the story was written in bullet point format. Then we would get in depth dream like explanations when they were least wanted. *Minor spoiler* We are in 13s bunker for like 60% of the book.

The characters are still loveable. (I LOVE that Katniss is a total bitch!! I ENJOY it!!) The story still holds up after all this time. I can’t wait to watch the movies again.

I enjoyed The Hunger Games: Mockingjay far more than I expected. Before picking it up, I wasn’t particularly engaged with the movie adaptations of this part of the story, so I worried that—like an average Capitol citizen—I’d lose interest now that the Games were over.

But after reading the book, I’m happy to say I was completely wrong. I was invested from start to finish. Unlike the previous two books, I went into this one with very little knowledge of the plot (aside from some major death spoilers I’d picked up over the years from the internet). That certainly enhanced my experience, but it wasn’t the only reason I enjoyed it so much. Certain moments were beautifully written, and the way emotions were conveyed throughout the book was incredibly impactful. Each character deals with their struggles, stress, and grief in different ways, making their journeys feel raw and realistic. I almost cried multiple times while reading—chapter nine, in particular, stands out as one that hit me the hardest. It didn’t give my thoughts or emotions a break before throwing me into yet another gut-wrenching moment.

The central focus on war, especially Katniss’ role as the Mockingjay, was also fascinating. While I don’t support war in reality, it’s undeniably an interesting topic to explore. Seeing the rebellion unfold and witnessing the ways both sides wield power, propaganda, and violence made for an intense and thought-provoking read.

Overall, I don’t have much else to say—I love this series, and I loved this book—another 5-star rating.
