I’m very tempted to write a long post about Mockingjay. But to do that, I’d have to post spoilers and I am very anti-spoiler. So… I will say that this was an excellent trilogy. Even when I was disappointed in Collins decisions – and I was, at least once, in each book though the biggest disappointment for me did take place in this one. Toward the end. It didn’t make me want to come here and rant about the ending, which is what I often do (particularly with YA fiction) – it just made me wish Collins had taken a few more chances with her characters. I just had moments where I wished she’d let her characters grow, just a little bit more – or a little bit differently. Katniss is an awesome female character but she could have been so much better in the last several chapters of Mockingjay.
Go read it (or read the series) – it’s excellent work, it really is.
