It's the right way to end the Hunger Games Trilogy. With that said, after reading it all, I've been feeling disturbed. I guess the series was disturbing, but I could NOT get to sleep last night. I'm 18 and I had woke up every 30 minutes with Mockingjay moments lining my dreams. Alot of it has to do with a feeling of incompleteness. The ending for Katniss has basic building blocks, but there are some conflicts that are left loose. Maybe that was the intention...I guess I'll never know.
Team Peeta and Gale? You know, that decision doesn't even matter. That was one of the dynamics I loved about the series, but the story was much more powerful than a little love triangle.
Suzanne Collins kept me on my toes from the get go. I can usually figure out the ending, but as I kept reading I gave up because it was fairly impossible for me to decipher.
Don't expect a fluffy happy ending. If you do, you will be disappointed and more haunted than me. Don't expect everything to go to hell. If you do, there is no way you can enjoy the book. Just keep everything open.
Suzanne Collins ended it with a realism that other authors have failed to achieve. Make sure you've read the books preceeding this one.
This one is alot more bloody and violent. The themes are much more mature. Be ready for Suzanne Collins absolutely not holding back. I was smiling big at the end. I was also crying because it was painful.
I love the Hunger Games. Even though it made it difficult to sleep last night.
Jabberjays are a type of bird that were created in Capitol labs to spy on enemies and rebels of the Capitol. Jabberjays had the ability to memorize and repeat entire human conversations, and were used to gather words from the rebels. Once the people in the districts realized how their private conversations were being transmitted, they used the jabberjays to feed lies to the Capitol. The Capitol therefore ceased using the jabberjays and abandoned them to die off in the wild, but they didn't die off. The male jabberjays bred with female mockingbirds to create mockingjays. Their offspring, named mockingjays, were able to repeat both human melodies and birdsong. They became the symbol of the rebellion because they were a species that the Capitol never meant to create.
