I hope everyone had a great Christmas season. I was able to get a bunch of reading done over my 11 day break from work. I was finally able to finish the Hunger Games trilogy. The third and final book is Mockingjay. It picks up were Catching Fire left off. Katniss has been pulled out of the arena and is finally coming to. She is taken back to District 13 and is wanted to be the face of the rebellion, the mockingjay. But as most stories go, it isn't smooth sailing or overly predictable. Things that you thought Katniss would have a choice over, she doesn't. Things that you thought would happen, don't. And people you thought you had figured out, you haven't. As a whole I really liked the series and liked this final book. But something about it just felt lacking. I'm not sure what it was. I really liked the first two books but then the manner in which the final book ended, I guess I was just expecting something different. There is some hard hitting events in the end, so it isn't for lack of shock factor. All in all this was a very entertaining series. Some of it reminded me of Harry Potter. I would recommend it to anyone looking for some light, entertaining reading.
