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.

“I think that Peeta was onto something about us destroying one another and letting some decent species take over. Because something is significantly wrong with a creature that sacrifices its children’s lives to settle its differences. You can spin it anyway you like. Snow thought the Hunger Games were an efficient means of control. Coin thought the parachutes would expedite the war. But in the end, who does it benefit? No one. The truth is, it benefits no one to live in a world where these things happen.”

real or not real? i rest my case. still the best dystopian novel i’ve ever read in my life

wow. what a bittersweet ending to this trilogy. damn, going into this, i had no idea how heavy and gruesome it would be. everyone just said that they loved it a lot, but this is the true definition of a dystopian novel. yea, the characters

may have been ultimately successful in overthrowing a corrupt government, but there were many many sacrifices made. there are always sacrifices involved, and sometimes they're not fair (still sobbing at finnick and prim's death in this book)

i also liked

that katniss killed president coin. i liked that the rebellion leader was basically another dictator- it shows that both sides had its flaws. anyway, coin always rubbed me the wrong way

this series will definitely be staying with me, and i will certainly be thinking about the real world issues that it tackles. although i thought that this book wrapped up a little too fast, i loved the ending epilogue. it was realistic, haunting, and utterly bittersweet.


a little tribute to the people who didn't make it:

rue, prim, finnick, cinna, mags, wiress

but especially to my favourite guys

cinna 🧵💔 finnick 🌊💔 prim🏥💔 rue 🐦💔

i love you guys, i miss you guys ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ 🩵
