Mockingjay ending


I was able to finish the book Mockingjay. I have to say it was extremely good. There were certainly a few twists that shocked me and that is what made it so good. A major part of this ending was the whole shooting of the leader of the revolution. So Katniss realizes that the leader of the revolution was a bad person after president snow began to tell her that Coin, who is the leader, is the real bad guy. She was killing kids and doing things that she should not have been doing. She also inflicted pain to Katniss by killing her sister. So Katniss took in revenge and decided what was right. She decided that she does not need to kill president snow because he is already dying anyways and he is not the real problem. She also decides that she would vote in favor of having the hunger games again. Isn’t that what they were fighting for so they could stop things like the hunger games? It was a vote to see if they would want to punish the citizens of the capitol for doing that to the district. Then here comes the plot twist, she kills the leader of the revolution. How much more dramatic does it get? When I read that I was shocked that she had done that. It was pretty brutally done. So at the execution of President Snow she got the honor of killing him with her famous bow and arrow. But instead of shooting Snow she shot Coin and killed her. Like I get that she was a jerk and all but she did it on stage in front of everybody. That is crazy. The face of the revolution killed the leader of the revolution instead of going after the target they had all along. That is a shocker. She then was a mess for awhile. She blamed herself for the death of all those people and her sister. She had to go to trial and everything. Of course at her trial she was acquitted and was able to move back to district twelve with Peeta. Her and Peeta were able to have a pretty romantic relationship after Katniss regrouped and was not all depressed and grieving about the deaths all the time. She was able to put most of that aside and move on. She and Peeta also had children together. That to me was an amazing ending. When I do get time I will definitely reread that again because I thought it was a great book. I would recommend this book to everyone and if you have not read the first two, then you should do that too.
