Title: Mockingjay (The Hunger Games # 3)
Author: Suzanne Collins
Genre: Dystopian/ Young Adult/ Reread/ Science Fiction
Published: 2010
Description: Katniss Everdeen, girl on fire, has survived, even
though her home has been destroyed. Gale has escaped. Katniss's family is safe.
Peeta has been captured by the Capitol. District 13 really does exist. There
are rebels. There are new leaders. A revolution is unfolding.
It is by design that Katniss was rescued from the arena in the cruel and
haunting Quarter Quell, and it is by design that she has long been part of the
revolution without knowing it. District 13 has come out of the shadows and is
plotting to overthrow the Capitol. Everyone, it seems, has had a hand in the
carefully laid plans—except Katniss.
The success of the rebellion hinges on Katniss's willingness to be a pawn, to
accept responsibility for countless lives, and to change the course of the
future of Panem. To do this, she must put aside her feelings of anger and
distrust. She must become the rebels' Mockingjay—no matter what the personal
cost.
Review: It’s the last book in the original trilogy. The second book topped the
fantastic fist book. When I read it the first time, I really liked it, but it
was clearly my least favorite of the three. And I still feel the same way about
it.
Katniss knows her life will never be the same. And things seem to get
worse. People seem to rely on her, she is the face of the rebellion. The story
is intense and this is very action packed. It has some emotional moments,
Katniss grows even more as a character.
I was upset that Katniss ended up with Peeta, the first time I read it.
It doesn’t bother me as much anymore, even though I’m still team Gale
(unpopular opinion), I feel Peeta was the better choice for Katniss.
I had such a good time rereading the original Hunger Games trilogy. Now
I’m going to delve into the prequels and I’m most looking forward to “Sunrise
on the Reaping”.
