Katniss has been rescued from the arena of the Hunger Games, and is now within the enclave of the infamous District 13, believed by the other districts to have been wiped out years ago by the Capitol. Gale is with her as they work with the rebels to take down the capitol, and hope to find a way to rescue Peeta, who was taken hostage after Katniss was rescued.

I liked Hunger Games, and I loved Catching Fire. I think that I enjoyed Mockingjay even more!

I never like to give away too much of a storyline, so I always feel compelled to keep my assessment brief.

There were some slow moments, but I liked the emotional degree in this book. I actually found myself tearing up quite a bit throughout this book as Katniss would touch on sensitive moments, and struggle to squash her emotions and gain control over herself. I fluctuated from wanting to wrap my wings around Katniss and protect her to cheering her on and telling her to go kick some butt!

I worried for Peeta and hoped they would successfully rescue him swiftly. I've always been Team Peeta! He's always been so compassionate, self-sacrificing and level-headed.

Prim is still a little duck, but growing up and becoming her own woman.

I loved Mockingjay, and I thought it a fine ending to a good YA series (my first YA series!). If you haven't finished up the series yet, but have been thinking about it, don't fear- it's worth the wait.

Not nearly as good as the first two. Strange ending if you ask me.

Kind of disappointing after the other two. Seemed like she didn't really know what to do with Katniss in the end, just like nobody else knew what to do with her.

‘but there are much worse games to play’ still slays
