Welcome to another edition of Monday Review, this week we're reviewing Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins which I read back in 2012. It's the third and concluding book in The Hunger Games Trilogy. Judging it from its outside you would think it to be just a small book along with all of The Hunger Games Trilogy books, but it's action packed as well as heartwarming and moving. Suzanne Collins keeps her characters from the first book from getting stale, making them grow even in this final book. And the characters that were introduced in the previous novel grow in leaps and bounds.
The story itself picks up mere months after Catching Fire ends, so there is no time lost really between the two novels. On top of that we are told what happens in that gap between the two books. It moves at a fairly swift pace taking twists and turns just as fast. It builds to a breathtaking crescendo before coming crashing down to the conclusion. Leaving everything wrapped up nicely, but still full of some surprises that you will have to read to find out.
Suzanne Collins has written a wonderful conclusion to her trilogy in my opinion. Bringing everything together marvelously. Some might not be happy with the ending, but it mirrors life well. It kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. That is why my final verdict for this book is four out of five stars.
