Mockingjay by Suzanne Colins

My name is Katniss Everdeen. Why am I not dead? I should be dead.

Katniss Everdeen, girl on fire, has survived, even though her home has been destroyed. Gale has escaped. Katniss's family is safe. Peeta has been captured by the Capitol. District 13 really does exist. There are rebels. There are new leaders. A revolution is unfolding.

It is by design that Katniss was rescued from the arena in the cruel and haunting Quarter Quell, and it is by design that she has long been part of the revolution without knowing it. District 13 has come out of the shadows and is plotting to overthrow the Capitol. Everyone, it seems, has had a hand in the carefully laid plains--except Katniss.

The success of the rebellion hinges on Katniss's willingness to be a pawn, to accept responsibility for countless lives, and to change the course of the future of Panem. To do this, she must put aside her feelings of anger and distrust. She must become the rebels' Mockingjay--no matter what the personal cost.

*spoiler alert*
I think this book is good and i really did enjoy reading the series although in comparison between the first book and this book, i think that the first book was much better. I dont like how everyone who Katniss cared about at the beginning of the trilogy (her mother, Prim, Gale, Gale's family) are no longer with her and the one's who are with her are the one's that she met because of the Hunger Games... so technically, there was no real point in volunteering to be the tribute in the place of her sister if her sister was just going to die anyway. And what was the point of the second book, where she chose Gale over Peeta when in the end she would choose Peeta? Additionally, i think that Katniss goes from this really independant, strong girl to a dependant damsel in distress (no offense to anyone who thinks otherwise). I really did admire her courage and her bravery in the first book, but to be honest, in the third book, she's reckless and annoying (again no offense to those who think otherwise). I also dont like how this book doesnt exactly answer all the questions, like, what happened to Bonnie and Twill? or all those peacekeepers who were nice and lenient with the laws of Panem? And ultimately, WHO DROPPED THE BOMBS THAT KILLED BOTH THE CAPITOL KIDS AND THE MEDICS WHO WERE ON THE REBELS SIDE? Because it could have actually been Snow who dropped those bombs just to get back at Katniss as a last resort since if he were to run, he'd never have the life he once had at the Capitol. Plus, there was a Capitol symbol on the hovercraft which means that technically, it's a Capitol hovercraft and i wouldnt put it past Snow to lie to a confused girl like Katniss who he knew would believe him. On the other hand, Coin could have just used one of the capitol hovercrafts that maybe hadnt been destroyed or she could've had a Capitol symbol created and put onto a hovercraft that district 13 owned. And also, we dont exactly know if Coin had actually wanted to kill Katniss or if it was just all in Katniss' head and used the strategy that Gale and Beetee created in the lab back in district 13. Well, i guess i'll never know.
