A review by ktbxter
Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
4.5
As mentioned with thw previous 2 books, this reread was eye opening.
Katniss is clearly not okay throughout the duration of this book and yet we see her forced into making decision and being the face of a rebellion she doesn't even really understand, all because the ADULTS in her life decided it was what she was doing when she was just trying to survive in the first 2 books.
The lead up to the actual war was slow, but it built anticipation for what was coming. I hated Coin throughout, but was probably biased from previous reads of the book.
When Peeta came to 13 I felt genuine heartbreak for Katniss and for him. He'd become part of the games; which he'd literally said he didn't want to be during book 1.
I felt emotional that Katniss wS trusted by her group during the war, despite the fact they all knew she had made up her own mission. It spoke volumes for how her team viewed her, even when she was clearly not always in the right frame of mind.
I cried when Prim died and felt it wasn't fair, but ultimately it was going to happen right?
I also cried during the epilogue. So so glad to Katniss and Peeta could live in a world where they felt safe to have a family and be free from the trauma of their teenage years.
