Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

Title: Mockingjay
Author: Suzanne Collins
Published: August 2010


Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has survived the Hunger Games twice. But now that she's made it out of the bloody arena alive, she's still not safe. The Capitol is angry. The Capitol wants revenge...

Rating: 5 Stars

Mockingjay is the final installment in the Hunger Games trilogy and it certainly lives up to expectations. In some ways Mockingjay is a lot darker than the other books; we encounter torture and many gruesome deaths in the Capitol. And there's one death in particular which hits Katniss really hard. 

However that said there are happy moments too. We get to see a wedding and see Katniss finally make her choice between Gale and Peeta. 

Mockingjay is much more action packed, something I really enjoyed. Right from page one we are thrown into the military lifestyle of District Thirteen. I think this is where we finally get a feel for who Gale really is, and what surprised me was that I started to feel sympathetic towards Johanna of all people. 

This was a brilliant way to end the series and I hope Suzanne Collins brings us something new soon. 

Would I recommend this book? I'd recommend the entire series which has captivated me for the past week.
