Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins


Final book in the Hunger Games triology

Finally made it the final book in this series.  Following her subversive second victory in the Games, this one composed of winners from past years, Katniss has been adopted by rebel factions as their symbol for freedom and becomes the rallying point for the districts in a desperate bid to take down the Capitol and remove President Snow from power. But being the Mockingjay comes with a price as Katniss must come to terms with how much of her own humanity and sanity she can willingly sacrifice for the cause, her friends, and her family.

I wanted to read this one as book 2 left such a clifhanger.  But this was a tough book to read through as it focused much more on the violence of war and how far will people go to be right.  I was overall happy with the ending as I didn't expect there to be a easy resolution.
