A review by talesandtreatswithtay
Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

2.0

SPOILERS:



I remember reading this the first time and having mixed feelings....and this time I felt similarly again.

While I'm glad Katniss and Peeta survived and got together in the end, I didn't like the storyline and how it happened, nor Katniss really.

I understand Katniss has been through a lot but my goodness she was unrecognizable and her attitude was so pessimistic the whole time. 

And the love triangle thing 🙄 ughhhh. I mean I had already liked Peeta but after Gayle comes up with that trap to kill people and then do a second wave to kill the responders....that's pure evil. Killing innocent civilians, especially children....no just no. 


And then the bombing of the children scene. I don't remember it being that detailed. It could have been worse but my goodness, I don't want thoughts of that in my head. And as a mom to a toddler....I can't imagine living through that.


Content: semi-detailed, bombings of children, death, war, drug use for coping, mental instability, murder attempts, blood, a sex scene at the very end that wasn't detailed at all-- could potentially miss it

Christian faith rating: -1/3
