In the ending to this anticipating trilogy, Mockingjay, by Suzanne Collins was the least exceptional of the three books. I cannot pretend that I favor this book over the other two. At the start of reading this book I was every intrigued to see how Suzanna Collins was going to finish this jaw-dropping series. Just like other fans of the book, I wanted to keep reading until I got to the very end. In much disappointment towards the end I knew that this book wasn’t what I wanted to read as the finale of this trilogy. The book was definitely an escape from realism including heroes and ending happily ever after with Katniss and Peeta. The basis of this book, along with its others, takes you away from reality and brings you into this whole new world. Suzanna Collins portrays this type of government beautifully and her writing corresponds with it.
Suzanne Collin’s writing is clear cut and flows without disruption, but it tended to get boring with Katniss underground in district 13. Only bites and pieces happened at a time, which was very difficult to pay attention to. The only time real action took place was once you read through half of the book. Near the end there was death after death, which took me some time to take in. The clear message was that war is a bad thing and will always cause destruction. It destroys and changes the characters you adore in this series, especially with Gale behind the bombing plot. Compared to the other two books within this trilogy Mockingjay stays the most consistent to its plot. Since there are no types of “games” in this book nothing takes you by much surprise. All of the parts fit together and there are only a couple of events that are unnatural and disrupt the plot, such as Prim’s death.
The love triangle from the The Hunger Games really caught everyone’s attention, but in the end it was clear that Peeta was the one. With Gale being involved in Prim’s death and Peeta always there for Katniss, it was only obvious of who would end up together. In this book you realize with is truly beautiful, and it is the relationship that Katniss and Peeta developed.
Overall, Mockingjay wasn’t the ending I had hoped for within this trilogy. Suzanne Collin’s did an immense job with the two previous books, but I think she might’ve been too laid back writing this book. The disappointing part was that the book did not end with its major characters. My rating for his book is still high, but compared to the previous books it cannot be put alongside.
