I wish they went into more detail about the near end of the book as well as some of the deaths that happened, but it was a great read. Can't wait to read the prequel.

This time around, I finished the book in a matter of hours. I can appreciate the story so much more now.

Prim's death

was the first time a book made me cry. That memory is so strong in my head that I had forgotten how horrific some other parts are. 10/10 for catharsis, exactly what I needed.

Really solid ending to a series that changed the face of dystopian fiction. There isn't much to say that hasn't already been said!! Sad that my time in this universe is almost to an end.

5.0

Mockingjay is a brilliant example of dystopian fiction. As a sequel, it draws on the previous books without replicating them, which is shockingly absent in much of YA fiction. It feels like a truly accurate representation of a true dystopia being taken down by a revolution, which is to say there cannot be a happy ending. And there isn't.

There's only the event, the grief that follows it, and the steady eventuality of learning how to live again, albeit not entirely happy.

Collins' expression of PTSD, through pretty much every character, is painfully accurate. No, the characters don't return home unscathed. It's a beautiful and necessary and heartwrenching book.
