But there are a few brilliant hurdles thrown into the plot to confuse things even more, with the team rescuing Peeta only to find that he has been ‘hijacked’ by the Capitol. Throughout the trilogy of novels, the love triangle between Katniss, Gale and Peeta has been a constant distraction, and it remains a heavy subject in this final book. Emotions of fear and desperation in a world nobody wants to live in are strong, and Katniss becomes the heroine she was born to be. This first half of the book works incredibly well to build up the atmosphere.

It’s this focus on character that a majority of the book focuses on, seeing Katniss build up her strength and prepare for a revolution.

Now, she must become the iconic Mockingjay, a symbol of hope and courage in the revolution, to unify the districts of Panem, fight to save those she loves, and attempt to shatter the games forever. The best characteristics of a dystopia are always around the themes of standing up for yourself, fighting against wrong, and making a difference, and it’s what we’ve been waiting for Katniss to do.

Transferred to District 13 in her fragile state, and now under the charge of President Coin, Katniss Everdeen must now become the iconic Mockingjay, a symbol of hope and courage in the revolution, to unify the districts of Panem, rescue Peeta, fight to save those she loves, and attempt to shatter the games forever. The final book in Suzanne Collins’ trilogy of The Hunger Games series of novels, Mockingjay, originally published in 2010, follows on from the cliff-hanger of Catching Fire, with the echoing words that District 12 has been destroyed. “It takes ten times as long to put yourself back together as it does to fall apart.”
