Last week I told you about the latest and (sniffle) final Hunger Games book, Mockingjay. I finished it not long after that post. So, let's talk about it! It's pretty impossible not to spoil the events of Catching Fire, so if you haven't read that, you probably shouldn't read this.When we pick things up in Mockingjay, everything seems to be falling apart for Katniss. District 12 is destroyed, Peeta has been kidnapped by the Capitol, while Katniss, her family, Gale, and the remaining survivors of 12 are refugees in District 13. Everyone wants her to be the Mockingjay of the rebellion, the face that will encourage the districts to fight back. What will make a reluctant Katniss step up to lead (albeit for show) the rebellion? The sight of Peeta on a Capitol broadcast, being used by President Snow to regain power over the districts.
This is a very dark, serious time of battle and loss for Suzanne's series; prepare to get your heart broken many times over. While the end is slightly dissatisfying for some, all in all Mockingjay is worth the read, with lots of suspense and drama.
I hope you've all been reading Scat by Carl Hiaasen; it looks like we'll be discussing it on the blog next Sunday! Stay tuned for details!
