Mockingjay

This year I have found one of the best new series since Harry Potter. The Hunger Games trilogy is a post-apocalyptic story about the country of Panem, which makes up 13 districts and the Capitol. The districts provide all that the capitol needs and leaves the districts in dire circumstances. In the Dark Days, district 13 rebelled and was distroyed and as punnishment, the districts must must participate in the Capitol's "Hunger Games." Each year one boy and one girl from each of the remaining twelve districts are selected to play the game. The Games are a televised event where the participants, called "tributes", must fight to the death in a dangerous outdoor arena until only one remains. The winning tribute and his/her corresponding district is then rewarded handsomely. Katniss, the main character is selected to play, and while playing, sparks the fire to ignite full rebellion against the evil Capitol.
Mockingjay is the third and final book of this series and it lives up to the hype. In this book, Katnis becomes the Mockingjay, or face of the rebellion, which ends in full-on war. The book is exciting and exhilarating; cliffhangers are at every turn. Mockingjay is every bit as exciting as its predecessors, The Hunger Games and Catching Fire. Suzanne Collins creates an edge-of-your-seat plot, which follows Katnis as she plays the games one final time with a shocking ending, determining the fate of humanity.
