The games have been conquered and it's time to move on to more wide-sweeping changes, time for a revolution.... but why does it seem like people are still using Katniss and those she cares about to their own ends? Within their own designs?
There is only so much any one person can take before they are pushed passed their limitations and this, the last installment, explores that premise fully. Mokingjaytakes some dark turns and goes in some directions you might have never expected. For YA this is intense and at times even a bit disturbing. I give Collins credit, she did not shy away from potentially upsetting the reader, she was not about to insulate her characters from the price that goes along with open war, or in this case The Games.
