4.5

Mockingjay completes a trilogy in a crescendo of violence and trauma. Katniss has survived two Hunger Games, but recovering from the trauma and finally defeating the Capital is a burden that she can barely bear. The frank discussion of the PTSD and mental psychosis that comes from so much death and devastation in a teenager is a breath of fresh air from how many childhood traumas are handled in fiction. The ending is bittersweet but offers hope for a future of healing. A riveting and visceral ending to a series that has changed how I see the world for the better.

A good sequel and good closure for Katniss. Would like a sequel focused on another character too, showing what happens to Panem next.

Heaviest book of the three. The main cast goes off the deep end. One of the character sacrifices themselves for the others. Several characters die.
