Both are vital for very different reasons and it’s not clear what role each will play in her life or where they will go. The relationships between her and Peeta and her and Gale are complex. She’s believable and likable, because so many young women are like that, they don’t see themselves objectively. She possesses a strength that she doesn’t necessarily see, but that is obvious to everyone else. She’s imperfect… heavily flawed, but in an identifiable way. Katniss Everdeen is one of my favorite heroines. Although there is a message to be had, the author does not preach or shove ideas down your throat it does not feel like you’re reading the author’s personal commentary on the world. My favorite thing about the series is how it does not shy away from controversial topics such as war and children fighting to the death even though it is meant for young readers. The story ends in a very satisfying way - for me. It successfully builds on the strengths of both books before it The characters are still perfectly flawed, the relationships are complex, the action is not senseless, the story is neither predictable or outlandish and the author manages to strike a balance between being as brutal as the story calls for without being gruesome. Just know that this book is one that will move you to tears, but there is a slightly happy ending.Įverything I love about the series is amplified in Mockinjay, the final book in The Hunger Games trilogy. I don’t really want to give away too much, just in case there is someone else like me out there that has yet to pick these books up. We got a little more interaction with Gale and Prim, but not much and when Gale seemingly sides with the leaders of District 13, I lost a little of my respect for him, though he did start to gain it back. I was right there with Katniss in wondering why no one was making an effort to rescue Peeta, why he was being left in the clutches of the Capitol. Though everyone wanted her to become the Mocking jay for their own reasons, I knew that she would put them off as much as possible until she realized why she needed to do it for herself, and while I’m glad she done it on her terms, I wish that she wouldn’t have had to do it at all. I cried more than I was happy, and I swear that Katniss did the right thing in the end. I could not believe the things that went on in this book.
