r1vana 's review for:

Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
3.5
adventurous challenging dark emotional mysterious sad tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

In this book, I saw a more flawed Katniss. She is a strong character who was/is burdened by the power hungry old people; and their audacity. 
She is a total mess and psychologically not treatable. 
Reading her being filmed and act with cameras around her was hard to read. It’s like she was back in the capitol but more traumatized then ever.

On the other hand, I hate love triangles. And this book did not help either. There were times I hated Katniss for actually playing both of them. The plot was already stressful enough. I just didn’t care about Katniss’s love story. Honestly I preferred the films interpretation. 

Hunger Games is an anthem. Will always cherish it.

PSA: I wanted to read this series because I still haven’t watching the ballad of songbirds and snares. But I also wanted to read Crimson Rivers (an ff).
