A review by elimabean
Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

3.0

The world building is definitely still great however this book drained the hell out of me. The first time I read it, I literally skimmed through the whole book even reading through major death scenes without even realizing it. Thats how boring it was. The other two were way more engaging. I understand this book shows the harsh realities of war however it would be better to tell the story not from Katniss's point of view because quite honestly her depressive state seeps through with every page. She also comes across completely erratic and unpredictable, and while I understand her trauma I feel like im constantly babysitting her throughout the book like "stop, dont do that omg no ....Katniss...." "WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT" "Are you actually crazy???". So many characters died and the ending so wholly depressing as well. Even though Katniss tries to be optimistic, I end off the book feeling dead inside because she is. And what the hell Gale is all I have to say. Dickwad. Idiot. Not even worthy of being in a love triangle.

killing her sister than leaving from the guilt. YOU WERE STILL HER BEST FRIEND IDIOT. She needed you but I guess your guilt was more important than making amends. I know she would never forget but she would never push you out of her life.
