While I enjoyed Katniss' continued journey and the whole characters who were introduced at District 13, there were parts of the plot that felt draggy to me, as if they were only taking so long so they could prolong the conclusion for that much longer.
Like a lot of people, I found the ending kind of bland. After all the build up of the previous two books and how well done everything was, I expected something more. This book has this slow build up to the climax, only for it to feel suddenly over and everything is done, and Katniss needs to adjust to not being some sort of rebellion war hero. It almost gives you whiplash with how fast it seems to go down.
There was an epilogue tacked onto the end, which was about a page and a half long, and that was fine, but probably unnecessary. It was just one of those "oh hey look protag's still alive!" epilogues.
Overall, Mockingjay was alright, but it didn't seem like a fitting end of THG. I had wanted more from it, but what can you do?

The death of two of the characters was heart wrenching. They were completely unnecessary, but it is what it is, i guess.
The book was too long and had little to offer but tragedies and horrors. I get it was a war, but i don’t know, it felt like she was trying to keep Katniss unable to fight so as she didn’t have to describe what was happening with the rebels and the war. The writing felt lazy.
I didn’t love it. It had potential, but she wasted her time describing nightmares.

This book isn’t for children.
