So I read the Hunger Games...and over the course of two days this Thanksgiving weekend I also finished Catching Fire and Mockingjay....good? YES!
So I previously blogged about the Hunger Games...and the next two books wrap it all up. In Catching Fire we follow Katniss and Peeta as they tour the districts as victors of the reaping but also to help subdue an potential uprising.
Then in Mockingjay we continue with Katniss and Peeta as they prepare for the 75th Hunger Games knowing they will have to help mentor the next pair of kids for the annual reaping....or will they? In an odd twist (as punishment for Katniss' disobedience) the next hunger games will include a pair of victor's from each district...meaning that as the sole female for district 12 she will be in another game. How will this one turn out and what is this we hear of a District 13??
I liked the books - loved the story. Could Suzanne have done better in Mockinjay?? YES!!! I wanted more Katniss, more Peeta. The Epilogue leads us to the future...but alas it would have been nice to see it blossom a bit more.
Read them...the movies are coming out soon. And if you were an Outlander fanatic....The Scottish Prisoner is coming out this November 29th!! Jamie Fraser here I come......look out for my future post about "Inheritance" by Christopher Paolini.
