SpiderKitten reviewed Mockingjay Hunger Games 3 by Suzanne Collins
Review of 'Mockingjay Hunger Games 3' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
I don't feel like Mockingjay was as good as it could have been. I feel that it started well - lots of things happening and lots of detail. But the ending seemed kinda weak. It was almost as if the author had been writing it and found herself getting tired of the story and just wanted to wrap things up as quickly as possible.
The story as a whole wasn't entirely predictable, though it did have moments where you could guess what was going to happen. I just feel like Katniss lost her fire towards the end, and granted, she was probably exhausted by physically and mentally, but the girl who was on fire for two and half books seemed very much extinguished. And I just feel like after building up certain ideas throughout the whole trilogy and to a larger degree in this final book - for example Katniss' desire to kill Snow - how those ideas played out in the end was somewhat disappointing.
That said, Mockingjay was still a good read. There was still a lot of action, and it was fast paced enough that I read it in a weekend. So while I was disappointed in many ways, this did not detract from the fact that Mockingjay was a good read.
