Mockingjay Suzanne Collins continues where Catching Fire left off. Katniss gets rescued from the arena and starts to live in District 13. Katniss is in shock and right away tries to find Peeta. She later finds out President Snow kidnapped him (I swear I hate this man!). Katniss tries to find and rescue Peeta, and she spreads propaganda with other people rescued from the arena like her. Eventually, Katniss saves Peeta, and I am going to stop there because that is when things get exciting!

I loved the end of this book! It is a beautiful tragedy. It was amazing but also devastating. You finally get to see Katniss become the person you always wanted. The character development Katniss goes through in just one book is amazing. I especially love what happens to President Snow—which is something I cannot say because it would spoil the whole book! If you hate President Snow as much as me, oh, you're gonna love this book! I just love what happens to everyone. For example, Finnick finally gets to marry the love of his life, but with a twist. (I'm leaving you with a cliffhanger as motivation to read the book!) This book is a beautiful tragedy about what happens to everyone.

Collins pleases the reader in this book, which is beautiful. I would definitely recommend Mockingjay, for you can enjoy that each character gets what they deserve (well, except Peeta).
