I love this series. This book as just as good as the other two in the series, although, I think that The Hunger Games will always be my favourite of the three.

SPOILER BELOW!

The only thing that bothered me with this book is Prim’s death. It seemed like more imagery than anything else. For such an important person to Katniss, I would have expected more details.

I can’t wait for the movie and I want to re-read the series again as I’m sure I’ll find stuff that I missed the first time around.

About the Book:

Katniss Everdeen, girl on fire, has survived, even though her home has been destroyed. Gale has escaped. Katniss’s family is safe. Peeta has been captured by the Capitol. District 13 really does exist. There are rebels. There are new leaders. A revolution is unfolding.

It is by design that Katniss was rescued from the arena in the cruel and haunting Quarter Quell, and it is by design that she has long been part of the revolution without knowing it. District 13 has come out of the shadows and is plotting to overthrow the Capitol. Everyone, it seems, has had a hand in the carefully laid plains – except Katniss.

The success of the rebellion hinges on Katniss’s willingness to be a pawn, to accept responsibility for countless lives, and to change the course of the future of Panem. To do this, she must put aside her feelings of anger and distrust. She must become the rebels’ Mockingjay – no matter what the personal cost.
