Mockinjay by Suzanne Collins is a sequel to her two other books The Hunger Games and Catching Fire. The book follows Katniss as she faces the guilt of (slight spoiler) leaving Peeta in the hands of the capitol after the 75th games. Katniss isn’t alone though as Finnick Odair, Beetee, Effie and Haymich were also rescued. Finnick is from district 4 and was the winner of the 65th Hunger games at age 14, he along with Beetee from district 3 were two of the allie’s that Katniss and Peeta had in the games. Peeta was captured after the games and take. to the capital as well as Johanna Mason and Annie Cresta. Johanna is from district 7 and won the 71st hunger games , and was one of there allie’s. Annie however was captured because she was Finnicks lover but, she had won the 70th hunger games. After the capture of Peeta and there allie’s Katniss is faced with the choice of leading a rebellion against the capitol or staying quiet in hopes to keep Peeta unharmed.
After seeing what the capital had done to district 12 the answer was clear to Katniss on what she had to do, Katniss became the face of the rebellion. This book is easily my favorite although there’s some sad deaths and twists in it. The story ends on a note that I didn’t really expect but still made total sense. I think that Suzanne did a really good job at making Katniss stay true to her character in the end and that the book series ended perfectly. Even though in the ending Katniss went back on her words Suzanne still managed to make it make sense on why she did.
