After I finished Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins, I ran up my stairs to my mothers room and grabbed Mockingjay to start reading, I was captivated by the story of Peeta, Katniss, and Gale and their hopes to bring down the Capitol.
When you leave Catching Fire, Katniss finds out after she has been saved by the rebels the Capitol has bombed District 12, her mother, Prim her sister and Gale and his family have survived with around 800 other people, everyone else has died in the fires.
Katniss is grief stricken and asks to go see District 12 once she has recovered. She finds her home in ruins and the victor homes still in places. She takes things that are hers and her mothers along with Prims cat, along with finding a white rose.
The rose is from president Snow, he is said to have lived in a room full of roses to mask the smell of his decaying form after taking poison. Katniss is sick and leaves quickly.
While in District 13, Katniss rebels against the Districts rules and regulations, choosing to wander, sleep, and not do what she is supposed to do. You get an inside look on how she is feeling about Gale and Peeta. Peeta is still being held by the Capitol and being brainwashed into thinking Katniss the enemy.
Mockingjay keeps you in the world Katniss lives in till the very end, this trilogy shows you how the world is like after years of war, and even then war is continued through the Capitol and the rebels. Katniss is never the same after this, she is a different person, different being, and a different soul after everything has happened. The end of Mockingjay will shock you and please you at the same time, it puts you to rest over the plot of the book and essentially has a good ending, it doesn't leave you wanting more, it gives you what you need and enough to think about it after.
I would recommend this trilogy to anyone, it has everything. A love triangle, action, suspense, mystery, betrayal, political issues, sci fyi, fantasy, realism, and all in young girls point of view.
