Hello everyone! Cato here! Today I finished Mockingjay, the final book in The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins. And today, I’m gonna share my insight on the book, what I liked and disliked.

THE FOLLOWING TEXT ALSO CONTAINS MENTIONS OF DEATH, MURDER, GORE, AND OTHER DISTURBING TOPICS. What I liked about the book: -Peeta and Katniss ending up together -Effie surviving -Katniss killing President Coin -Epilogue where Katniss and Peeta have kids -Katniss going back to District 12 -Pollux surviving (Idk why I like him so much) What I disliked: -Finnick dying -Prim dying -Finnick dying -Katniss not getting to kill President Snow -Did I mention Finnick dying? -Gale abandoning Katniss -Peeta getting messed up -Cinna dying -SOMEBODY PLEASE BRING FINNICK BACK TO ME Other notes: -Apparently Suzanne Collins regrets killing Finnick so I’m hoping from the bottom of my heart that they make an edit to the book where he doesn’t die or make a fourth book corresponding to the original trilogy where he comes back (Because they never actually fully confirmed his death, as Katniss turned away before seeing his dead body.
