Spoiler Alert

            Mockingjay is the final book in Suzanne Collins Hunger Games Trilogy. The book begins right where Catching Fire left off where Katniss was taken away from the battle arena in an aircraft. When she finally gained conscience she learns that all this time she has been set up starting with Haymitch telling her allies to protect Katniss not matter what happens. She also learns that there is a District 13 and people living there.

            When Katniss arrives in District 13 she becomes the icon of the rebellion, a mockingjay. The population of District 13 consists of the people of its district and any other refugees that came from other districts. Their entire district is underground and no one is allowed to go outside. Other than hunting Katniss was required to attend training classes in order to learn battle skills and go into the field. She also has to participate in many videos acting as the mockingjay showing that she survived and is preparing to kill President Snow

            Throughout the book Katniss goes around to the different districts to convince the people to join the rebellion and fight against President Snow. After districts have been under attack, more and more are look to Katniss to help and lead them. Katniss later learns that Peeta had been rescued and was being monitored since he had been manipulated by Snow. When Katniss visited him she learned that all of their good memories had been changed into nightmares in Peeta’s mind. As Katniss tries to get past the old Peeta and accept the new one, she prepares to go the capitol and fulfill her goal.

            Surprisingly, Mockingjay wasn’t as terrible as I’ve heard it is. I know that the first two books were far better, but still this was a pretty good book. However, I didn’t really like how the first quarter of the book was where she was stuck underground in District 13. I understand that she was limited on the things she could do, I just wish that Collins would’ve made it a little more interesting to read. I am glad that she kept practically the same issues because I was able to see how some things are easier to change for the better than others. For example, it’s hard to change whether it is for the better or the worse. Also, I didn’t really like how the book ended, I know that there was really no other way that Collins could’ve ended the series. With that being said, I agree that what she did was a good decision and the whole series ended up great!

            In conclusion, Suzanne Collins’s trilogy has been amazing to read about. I have loved reading the series and I can’t wait to see what Collins will write about next. I look forward to seeing the movies and seeing how the book will come to life. For those who haven’t read this series yet have truly missed out and should read it soon.
