Sad ending that is oddly satisfying. It just feels like something is not quite right when you finish the book.

I won't say anything about the end but I just didn't think that the book as a whole was as good as the first two.

I LOVED The Hunger Games and Catching Fire. It was one of my favorite book series. I waited two years for Mockingjay to come out, hoping for an epic ending. I hated Mockingjay. Incredible series ruined? Yes.

Ruined is a bit strong of a word.

I honestly don't think the ending was that bad. Sure there wasn't a lot of character development but it didn't have a bad ending

I LOVED hunger games (I read it 11 times. I have a serious problem) but I didn't like catching fire NEARLY as much. But Peeta Mellark is the love of my life, so back off katniss! (as I said, I have a serious problem) =)

I just didnt like the ending of mockingjay. It was kind of confusing and I felt like the author wrote it up in a 'spur of the moment' kind of thing. I was expecting a fuller ending where everything comes to a close.

It seemed rather rushed and it seemed to me as if Collins hurried through and left things unanswered

Eh. It was okay until the ending. And it felt like the author was just doing that thing authors do where they kill off all their characters because it's the end of a series and they don't need them anymore.

I loved the book as a whole. Even though I agree the ending was a little rushed writing-wise, I think it really wrapped things up nicely - as nicely as something can be wrapped up at the end of a war, anyway. It's not like things are gonna be sunshine and rainbows and it stayed that way.

Even though the book ended, it left you with an incomplete feeling. Not only did the author finish the ending too quickly, she also gave a very brief, monotone epilogue set farther in the future that really had no effect on anyone. Although when i think about it, i can't really see how else she should have finished it off. Although i think she should have more emotion in the last chapter or so. It was very bland and too informative.

Allow me to rant a bit on this. I liked The Hunger Games the best, then Catching Fire, then Mockingjay. I felt like Catching Fire and Mockingjay were a bit rushed and in both of them there was a lot of things that i wanted to know about people, places and systems that were not explained, like how exactly mentoring worked, and what it was like to be a mentor. I wish Finnik had been in it more. I didn't like Katniss much by the end of the last book, ecspecially the way Katniss treated Peeta in the last book. I wish I could read more about Gale, what he was like, and his and Katniss's past. I also felt like Prim's death was random and unnessisary. Also confusing, I had to read it over three times before I actually understood what had happened. I also didn't understand at the beginning her rationale for killing Coin. I wished I could've read what went on with Johanna that there was no one left she loved.

Sorry for any spelling mistakes and the random order.

To elaborate, Katniss killed Coin because Coin's men took a Capitol airship and bombed children in order to make the Capitol look evil and thus gain support. That, and Coin possibly wanted to kill Prim in order to break Katniss. This was all hinted rather than explained, it was a 'the reader has to put two and two together' sort of deal.

I've figured that out by now, but it did take me a while.
