The Mockingjay Review

     In this finale to The Hunger Games Trilogy, the nation of Panem is on the brink of war. Katniss must accept her role as the symbol of the rebellion, The Mockingjay. The personal conflict she has is, to become the rebel's Mockingjay, she must cast aside all her personal feelings no matter how high the cost. The battle for Panem has begun. Will Katniss accept her role, or will The Rebellion fail? 
     In this book, there is more personal conflict not only with Katniss but with other characters as well. Peeta and Gale deal with personal conflict. I will not tell what the conflict is, because I don't want to spoil anything. One thing I didn't like in this book is that it starts slow. I didn't expect this because of how dramatic the end of Catching Fire was, I was hoping that the beginning would have some action. However it does pick up pretty quickly.
     When I had about 10 chapers left in this book, I didn't put it down until I was finished. I had to see how the story was going to end. I was very satisfied with the ending. It was the perfect way to end the series. Katniss chooses who she will be with. As mentioned before, I don't want to spoil. So I won't reveal who it is.
     In my opinion, this the darkest book in the series. This is not a happy book. It's very intense and sad. I came as close to crying while reading this than I have while watching a movie. However, I really enjoyed this book. It kept me up nights while I was reading it, and It still keeps me up from time to time. I just like thinking about it. After I finished the book, I missed being in suspense. I had a so much fun reading this book. I give it 4 stars out of five.
