O...M...G... I just finished the final book of the Hunger Games series, "Mockingjay."
If you have not read this book yet do not read on *SPOILER ALERT*
Mom, this means you. You are totally going to read this series whether you like it or not... so don't read on!
This book completely threw me for a loop. I thought I had it figured out before I even started reading it. A friend of mine, who is team Gale hated this book. I thought Gale would die in the war and Katniss would end up with Peeta. Boy was I wrong. I am 100% team Peeta, by the way.
I knew a lot of people would die, but the deaths in the book really surprised me. The first time I thought, "WHAT?! Are you kidding me?!" was near the end when Coin proposes that District 13 have their own Hunger Games with the children and grandchildren of prominent capitol members. And then I was really thrown when Katniss actually votes in favor of having the games. I was so disappointed in her! But that is what I love about the book, Katniss is the hero, but she's not perfect. That makes her really relatable.
Of course Katniss assasinating Coin instead of Snow was crazy. I was completely shocked but also a little disappointed too. She had been dreaming of killing Snow since the beginning of the series, and she didn't carry out her vendetta. But I thought that was still a really cool turn to the plot.
Overall, I am happy with the ending of the series. Gale is stupid and heartless! But I do love Peeta :)
Post your thoughts if you have read this book!

I loved the series. I remember reading when Katniss turned the arrow towards Coin and I thought, "No... It couldn't be!" and then it actually happened. She released the arrow and killed Coin instead of Snow.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't get over the description of Snow with the smell of blood on his breath. Every time I thought about it I just shuddered. I can't imagine what it would be like to smell that on someone's breath. Gross!
