A review by jenni_elyse
Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

5.0

Reading MOCKINGJAY is always bittersweet. I feel like it’s a fantastic ending to the trilogy. I’m just sad at all that takes place. I think Suzanne Collins does a phenomenal job of showing how war, torture, death, grief, PTSD, etc. can affect us or change us. I think the last chapter feels rushed. I wish Collin’s had slowed it down, even though she needed to cram a lot of information regarding Katniss, District 12, Panem, and the other characters into those pages.

I think Katniss was right and justified in killing Coin. She would’ve turned into another Snow if she had been allowed to live. I also think Peeta is the right one for her. Between him and Gale, he’s the only one who could empathize with Katniss regarding the Games and the Capitol. I’m sad Prim died AND I think it was necessary because it illustrated that we don’t have control over everything that happens.
