Mockingjay

Title Mockingjay Author Suzanne Collins Call Number PS3603.04558 M63 2010 Location 3rd Floor Muth Rating Highly Recommended Book Review The finale of this series has a very different tone and tenor from the previous two novels, as our protagonist recovers from a brain injury, copes with the moral ambiguity of violence she has inflicted, and ultimately decides where she stands in the just war debate. Our hero has been used on both sides of the war as a villain, a savior, the face of the revolution, the face of the enemy. Stories like this do not often end happily, and Collins does not disappoint. We get hope rather than happiness, and we are left with questions about who we want to be in light of everything. The prequel comes out next year, so I would recommend a re-read of the series beforehand.
