Book #31: Mockingjay - Suzanne Collins


I know I said this about the second book Catching Fire, but seriously it can get worse!
Waking to find a path of destruction, now more than ever Katniss must learn to trust her gut even more so!
Rebellion.
Love.
Loss.
MORE loss.
Terrifying mutts and endless webs of deceit.
The book takes everything we though was bad before and amplifies it tenfold.
Katniss is officially the face of the rebellion and it's beginning to wear on her.
All the lives lost, she commits them to memory as though they are all her fault.
She is torn down as far as you can tear one down before dying, but through the effort and faith of those around her she perseveres.
Will she ever be able to let go of what's she's seen and done?
Probably not, but can you blame her?

Suzanne Collins ability to scare the pants off of you with her imagery is haunting.
I heard the hisses of the mutts.
My heart broke as characters were killed off one by one.
But I'm a glutton and I pushed through finishing this book.
I'm left with a feeling of bitter sadness.
I hate that the series is done, but I know there was no where else for it to go.
I hurt for those who were lost.
I am anxious for the movies!
Although, can I say that I don't know how they will make Mockingjay without it being rated R!?
It's scary and I'm almost afraid to see all the mutts because I can only imagine that they will live up to what I've created in my head!
Oh the Katniss-esque type nightmares that may ensue.

This series was riveting.
I loved it.
I hope that I haven't given too much away.
But, I do hope I've wet your appetite and you are anxious to read these yourself!

I hope you have a Blessed Saturday!
