#149. Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
Title:
|
Mockingjay
|
Author:
|
Suzanne Collins
|
Genre:
|
Future/Dystopian/Thriller/Young Adult
|
Synopsis:
|
After the chaos of the Quarter Quell, the rebellion is in
full flight and The Capitol is cracking down brutally in an attempt to regain
control as Katniss is thrust into leadership.
|
Verdict:
|
The first 80 per cent of the book is just as fast paced
and interesting to me as the first two novels but the ending feels somewhat
rushed, like the author ran out of time or space or didn’t craft it as finely
as she could have. On one hand that was a bit disappointing but on the other
it also felt kind of appropriate. Given the world the events were taking
place in, there was no way it couldn’t end in some chaos and with further
tragedy.
