Mockingjay




Surviving two deadly games was no windfall…
Leading a rebellion was an overthrow…
A story of revenge, blood-splattered mayhem, unyielding struggle, unremitting sacrifices, and terrifying quest for freedom and peace, Mockingjay, the final installment of Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games trilogy, is a remarkable literary success and history. The victor becomes the ‘mockingjay’, the emblem of rebellion against the ruling Capitol…
The events that occurred were overwhelming. Katniss’ survival from the bleeding battleground was not a promise of safety and immunity; rather, it detonated the Capitol’s anger and thirst for revenge. She must pay for the insurgence that she inspired. But not only she was not secured—everyone was at the verge of a burning hell created by the domineering Capitol.
Within the story, you will find the images of painful death, the depravity of bloody battles, the face of brokenness, the sweet taste of love, the importance of family, the joy of freedom, and the rejuvenating feeling of emancipation and redemption. The book begins with a promising pulse, but its blasting finish will leave you longing for more. I was awestruck by its perfect pace, irresistible humanity, compelling plot, and interesting backdrop.
It was heartbreaking that Katniss, Peeta, Gale, and I should part ways. I really enjoyed our company from The Hunger Games to Catching Fire and finally to Mockingjay. When I uncovered the unanticipated finish of their unforgettable and exciting saga, I couldn’t help but pine for their adventures and precarious feats.  However, I was grateful for the chance to bond with them—and many other promising characters—and to follow their story, because it was fun, it made me cry, and it taught me so many things. I applaud for Suzanne Collins!

A Torch Against the Night

“Your emotions make you human, Elias said to me weeks ago in the Serran Range. Even the unpleasant ones have a purpose. If you ignore them, they just get louder and angrier.” Although this book is a best-seller, I cannot say that this is a can’t-put-it-down read because it took me several weeks to finish flipping on its pages. To be honest, it was a tedious start. But as the story built up, it brought me to different places and introduced me to other interesting characters. I found it a good read. At times, it was a breathtaking feat following Elias and Laia on their journey as they run for their lives. I was thrilled while racing with them away from the Martial soldiers who hunt them and consider them fugitives of the Empire. The long and menacing expedition required me some deep breaths, but I was enamored by Laia’s bravery to defy and fight the enemies in order to save her brother—who is believed to be the key to the Scholars’ survival—from the treacherous prison. And Elias, ...

Graceling

For an award-winning debut book, this is breathtaking! Written with flair and elegance,  Graceling  is one of the spellbinding reads that quench my hunger for fantasy books. The thrilling journey, the terrifying adventure, the outstanding backdrops, the stunning encounters, the heart-pounding romance, and the endearing cast of characters have mesmerized me the whole time. It’s interesting to find beauty and brutality together. In this book, you will find it in Katsa and Prince Po, both graced with extreme skills and they are beautiful.

The Name of the Wind

This is a good tale—a chronicle of my travels and adventures with Kvothe, the legendary hero who has stolen princesses, talked to Gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep. The saga of Kvothe awakened my passion that had become quiescent for more than a decade—my zest to reading. When I met him, he enchanted me with his unique wit, cunning thoughts, and most of all, his sympathy and powerful binding techniques. Eventually, he detained me in Patrick Rothfuss’ magical pages. As I begin my journey with this charming and spirited character, I uncovered that every leaf of The Name of the Wind eagerly breaks the monotony of the books of the same genre. It is all-encompassing—a distinctively outlined portrayal of life’s parable and family relationship, of travel adventures and personal wanderlust, of friendship and fleeting acquaintances, of en route impediments and life-altering circumstances, of grief face due to loss and power of emancipation, of a que...
