Well, I’ve finally done it. I’ve finished the Hunger Games trilogy. It feels like forever ago since I read “Hunger Games” and “Catching Fire”. After finishing the last book that I read, I decided to go ahead and read “Mockingjay”. I really enjoyed this book, there were a lot of up’s and down’s. Some were happy and seemed almost normal while others were sad and took your breath away. There were a couple of deaths in this book that really made me sad. When Prim dies, that is really heart-breaking. It just worked out where Katniss was right there when her death occurs and you get to see how it really affected Katniss. Especially when Katniss comes across Buttercup later and even the cat misses Prim. The other death that affected me was Finnick. I get why he died but I feel sad because he was reunited with the love of his life and got to marry her before his death occurs. Overall though, I think I’m okay with the way the series ended though. I know that war comes at a price so there are going to be some deaths that will happen.
Also, the books I read had the foil covers instead of the original covers. If that makes a difference to anybody.

I loved the Mockingjay book. I love that Suzanne Collins kept it real and didn’t give everyone what they wanted. If it ended on a happy note I would have hated it. Prim dying was indeed sad but it added more emotion to the book. I loved the epilogue. Is it weird that that was the best part of the story for me? lol I love that Katniss and Peeta ended up together with a kid. I loved that she kind of got closure with Gale. I love that she was still in District 12. And I can’t believe I don’t remember this, but what happens to Haymitch? Is he in the Capitol or District 12?

I know Haymitch escorted Katniss back to District 12 but I thought Haymitch stayed in District 12 as well. Katniss is really the main character in the books so all the focus is on her. They only mention other characters when it is important to what’s going on with her. But, I was sad as well when Prim died but I think it did add to the story. Death is apart of war and they had to make that whole thing seem real.
