Honestly not my favorite of the series. Had a good ending but super complicated. I didn’t like all the gore and just wasn’t well done.

7/10 | "Mockingjay" by Suzanne Collins grows richer upon reflection, captivating with its raw, realistic portrayal of Katniss that underscores the depth of her character and the complexities of rebellion.

This is like my 3rd 4 star rating in a raw LOL I'm just handing them out at this point. Mockingjay dragged the triangle when from book one, we knew that Peeta was endgame but complaints about Katniss being whiny and a figurehead seem a bit... eh, she's a 17 year old with unresolved trauma and just desperately wants her sisters and friends to live; she's been thrown into a situation that literally out of her control and so much rests on her, OFC she's going to be a bit annoying and self centered about it. 

Were there persons who had it worse, obviously but what 17 year old has the maturity to compartmentalize and push forward like that. I enjoyed this book and I'm glad she
