Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
5.0
What I Liked
Suzanne Collins is a phenomenal writer. I read this book for the second time, but her stakes are still high enough to make me read a 390 page book in two sittings with no sleep in between. She shows without telling better than almost any YA author I've ever found. (An example would be when Katniss is angry with Gale and she slams her food tray so hard against the counter that the dishes clatter.) Each character's story is agonizing and heart-wrenching to read.
The third installment of The Hunger Games trilogy is no weak link. It's devastating, inspiring, and stunning.
What I Didn't Like
Okay, let me be honest and say that I like about 99% of Mockingjay. And what I didn't was mostly a matter of taste. The war scene with the pods and the fighting and the running around dragged on a little long for me towards the end, but Collins still had me captivated with each new page.
