Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
3.0

I am so let down by this book! I expected great things and this book is just... meh.

Book one was alright, captivating, but nothing to scream over and then the second book absolutely rips you apart and does literally everything right. Then this book comes along and ruins everything.
Nothing happens until the last third of the book, as Katniss is always in the freaking hostpital or just a prop for the television so it just drags along for most of the book.

The charecters and especially the ones killed off bother me so freaking much
Spoiler like the fact that Finnick dies in the literal sewer was so pointless, and since he died with so many soliders from 13, we can't even mourn his death. He finally had his happy ending, marrying the love of his life and working alongside them to assassinate Snow. His death just screams copout and Collins trying to demestrate how gory the book is. Also, Prim's death was so freaking pointless, as we don't know anything about her, we don't spend any time with her and literally no one cares.


This book is actually making my blood boil a little bit. Katniss never had a choice regarding her romance. She was literally paired with Peeta in book 1, then she fooled around with Gale in book 2, but still had to fake her love for Peeta, AND she showcased real feelings for him as well. But, alas. She really had no choice in this ridiculous love trianlge where the boys loved her more than she loved them combined. She just got the one that stuck around.
Spoiler She also talks very clearly about never having children ever, and yet she has two of them in the end... Alright, sure the Hunger Games is over and their situations is better, but it bothers me that she was CLEAR about her intentions about not having children, and yet she had them.
