Any of the rest of you who have posted reviews for this know what I'm going through. In order to make sure this review is spoiler free, I can't share half the things I loved/liked/was surprised by in this book. No, instead I'll have to write a vague and hopefully semi-accurate depiction of why this book was an epic ending to the an already epic trilogy. So please, people who have read Mockingjay bear with me. For those of you who haven't yet read it, well first off what are you waiting for! Second, I'll be nice and keep it spoiler free okay?

As we all know from the ending of the last book, Katniss has been saved from the arena and Peeta is nowhere to be found. The book opens with Katniss living in District 13 with the rebels who saved her. Despite her weak body and partially crushed spirit, I still can honestly profess my undying love for Katniss even in this book. She is different than the girl that we followed through the first two books, but only slightly. Seeing her in this light was a bit like seeing someone transform. I loved it.

Keeping it short, the overall story was great and extremely fast paced. I think Suzanne Collins expertly navigated Katniss and Peeta AND Gale's stories, allowing the each their own spotlights. It was impressive how she dealt with the love triangle aspect of it all, and I wasn't disappointed at all. Yes, the ending is questionable. I'm sure even if you haven't read the book you know that from hearing people talk. However I thought that under the circumstances, it was a well thought out ending. We all know Katniss can't end up with both boys. I know we're all on our own "Teams", but hey. Someone had to win out.

Love is all I have for this book! If you haven't read it, please do! If you haven't even started The Hunger Games trilogy...well then you're insane. GO NOW!
