The third book in Suzanne Collins's phenomenal and worldwide bestselling Hunger Games trilogy. The final book in Suzanne Collins's worldwide bestselling Hunger Games trilogy is now available in paperback.

“My name is Katniss Everdeen. Why am I not dead? I should be dead.”

Katniss Everdeen, girl on fire, has survived, even though her home has been destroyed. There are rebels. There are new leaders. A revolution is unfolding. District 13 has come out of the shadows and is plotting to overthrow the Capitol. Though she's long been a part of the revolution, Katniss hasn't known it. Now it seems that everyone has had a hand in the carefully laid plans but her.

The success of the rebellion hinges on Katniss's willingness to be a pawn, to accept responsibility for countless lives, and to change the course of the future of Panem. To do this, she must put aside her feelings of anger and distrust. She must become the rebels' Mockingjay—no matter what the cost.

Poll:\ \ Have you read The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes? \ \ Hey y'all,\ \ Many of you are aware that I've been rereading The Hunger Games books after finishing Sunrise on the Reaping (and loving it). I've completed my reread of the original trilogy which is not without its faults. I have a lot of qualms with the way Suzanne Collins handles race and disability. It's something I want to do a longer series of videos on. Nevertheless, it was so fun to reread the trilogy more than 10 years after I'd read it the first time. This is a series that was incredibly pivotal for me as a teenager. I'm also planning on rewatching the movies soon.\ \ Now I'm reading The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (yes, I'm very late to that) and HATING it. It's baffling that this could have come from the same person that crafted the other books in this series. My main question is: Who is this book for?\ \ It's too long, there are too many characters to follow (with many ending up dead soon after introduction), and the third person limited POV was probably one of the worst decisions for this particular novel. I think it would've been a lot better if we got Lucy's perspective, alternating perspectives, or any other narrative style that isn't this one, but I also have some issues with Lucy Gray and I don't know if I'm ready to get into all that right now.\ \ Thankfully, I'm also reading The Bewitching by Silvia Moreno-Garcia and it is so much more entertaining. I'm about halfway through and can't wait for more people to read it after it's released next week.\ \ XoXo - Rae

War Theory in The Hunger Games

Replying to @sammy.huang_ While we can infer all day, the textual evidence suggests ambiguity for Lou Lou/Louella based on Suzanne's exact and consistent choices of verbiage. The movie depictions are also not canon to the books (obviously, hardly any of the cast fit the book descriptions anyway). D11's contribution is extremely important to the rebellion and most definitely represents how black people and other underrepresented communities are always first to fight despite being last to receive rights. It being a primarily black district makes sense and is as canon as Suzanne has made it based on geography and those reaped but she is also very clear when someone has dark or brown skin. #louellamccoy #sunriseonthereaping #thehungergames
