At 9 PM I finished with reading Mockingjay (which I started reading at 8 AM and I admit I wasn't only reading today - I also cooked lunch, dinner, watched TV, ...) and my eyes were full of tears.

I've read Hunger Games and Catching Fire a few months ago so I kind of forget some things. However, Suzanne Collins put the facts from the first two books into the last one so smoothly and nicely, I didn't have the problem with remembering. Katniss was still our good Katniss, Gale was still Gale and Peeta... Well, he wasn't so Peeta anymore, but he was still great (maybe even more with a little bit danger and threat in him).

I loved everything about Mockingjay. I loved fashion, I loved hunting, I loved reunion scene between Peeta and Katniss, I loved revolution, I loved all mixed feelings around me, but most of all I love Suzanne's work as writer, she really has ability to show us such a great story through unique choice of words. Each line I've read reminded me of how my own writing have to improve and how few authors can really compete with her.

Fashion: This is just something it goes with every reality show and Hunger Games beat all the shows. I missed Cinna, he was so great, but there were other designers who took the show seriously.

Reunion scene between Peeta and Katnis: This was just the best scene ever. Katniss was full of expectations and I know she was hoping for the kiss and all she gets is cold hands around her neck. I re-read it few times because I was as shocked as she was. It was really a surprise and I love surprises. I don't like the books where you can figure it all out.

Mockingjay: I really liked the symbolic of Mockingjay since the beginning of this series. Also the symbolic of the songs and singing.

Prim: I was really sorry for her, because she was so good, smart and nice girl. She reminded me of my little sister and her dealing with life and that's why I cried for how she ended.

Other Victims: By that I mean all the people that die durring revolution. I feel sorry for most of them, but the most I feel sorry for Finnick. He was really one funny add to the series.

President Snow: It's so hard dealing with the villains as he is. You don't see them as a villains but you know they are. They have their own purposes and they are not using the right tactics to achieve them. They are smart and they cannot be compared to others, evil and bad characters.

Revolution: It was the right thing to do. The Games were not humane and killing children was just wrong. No matter whose children!

Peeta vs. Gale: When there were only few pages left and she still wasn't decided I gave up everything and decided she will die or be alone. Then I reminded myself: this is not a love story.

Epilogue: It's ironic to see how the future goes. Katniss, the girl who was on fire, didn't die and she didn't end up alone. She decided for the guy I was hoping she would. He gave her reasons enough to see how life can still be beautiful and how can she still loves. He even gave her more than she could ever hoped for. More then she could ever wished for. When he asked "You love me. Real or not real?" I started crying. Real.

My last thought would be: Fire is catching! And if we burn, you burn with us!

Burning with Hunger Games is really worth your time.

5/5 Stars
