Theme war
This is definitely the heaviest and most emotionally-packed book of the series. It didn't have the contstant thrill of the first two books, but it was just as captivating.
In the beginning, I was actually surprised by how, comparatively, light-hearted Mockingjay had started. In the first half it was full of little jokes and comical moments that lighened up the darkness of the events that were unfolding. A twist in the middle broke my heart. As I, as a reader, got more involved into what was happening in the war between the districts and the Capitol towards the second half, I kept wishing for a different turn of events, but Suzanne Collins didn't try to diminish the horror of war, and on the pages I saw a lot of pain, suffering, emotional wreckage, loss, death... And over all that, there is the aftermath of the Hunger Games the victors have to live and deal with.
It left me emotionally drained, but I still love this book. I guess I love it because it is realistic. And thought-provoking. I wish this series never ended, but I know it will be a long time before I can get this story out of my head. by Alina Solomkina -
Satisfying Finale
**Minor spoiler**
One word. Anomalous. This is such an emotionally packed book. Wow. Just wow. This is a must read. very thought provoking and blazing with fieriness.
Surprisingly, I liked how the book ended. I liked how Collins wrote the epilogue. I love literature, metaphors and symbolisms. Thus, I understood how Katniss and Peeta will be at the end.
To assure everyone, Katniss does love Peeta. It's only that with all the war and stuff going on around her, she doesn't realized it at first until Finnick points it out to her. It also shows the hunger and desire that stir within her when they kissed. Once in The Hunger Games, the second in Catching Fire. It is also mentioned in a sentence near the end of the book.
Finnick and Prim. Why, oh, why??
All in all, this is a disturbing read. A good kind of disturbing. by Joy Chuah Xin Yee -

Awesome Finale.
Suzanne Collins has done it yet again; written an amazing book! Days after having finished Mockingjay I find myself thinking about it again and again. The heart wrenching conclusion to the Hunger Games trilogy was a realistic depiction of the tragedy of war. Brilliantly written and filled with action-packed twists and turns this book is a must read. This book is not light-hearted read and, I feel, is a realistic conclusion to the series. The romance takes a back-burner to the real problem on hand; all out war with the Capital. Katniss and her family and friends have suffered through more than their fair share of heartache, and in Mockingjay it does not let up. Having been through so much is starting to show mentally and physically on Katniss, but she manages to keep her character strength. Also, I liked the further character development of smaller or already well-known characters. You thought you knew someone, but would find new facets of their personality throughout the story.. and not always in a good way. The well written scenes of this book will shock you, fill you with happiness, or fill you with heartache. I highly recommend it! by Scoot
