mockingjay.

well, i have a few things to say about this one. so instead of just commenting on lisa's post, i'll post about it again.

first of all, i liked it a lot. i will even labeled it as loved. however, it was not what i expected. and it was totally different from the first two books in the trilogy. it reminded me a little of ender's game {which, if you haven't read, i totally recommend}. much more science fiction than the first two. if you haven't read catching fire recently, i recommend re-reading it before you read mockingjay. i didn't, and i struggled a bit to remember characters. i could have used a refresher on how catching fire ended, but i was lazy :)

*spoiler alert*

i kind of didn't like how katniss was in a deep depression and suicidal throughout a lot of the book. kirsten told me before i started that she felt it was emotionally draining to read, and i totally agree. it was a pretty depressing book. i was bummed that finnick died, just after being reunited with annie! and prim's death seemed unnecessary to me. interesting, though, how the series began with katniss saving prim's life, and ended with prim's death.

anywho.

it was good. glad i read it. glad she made the right choice with peeta :) i could have used another chapter at the end about their relationship, but overall, i was satisfied.
