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!

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. When their paths crossed, both their lives change forever in a journey that could end both their lives. While Katsa is a killing machine, Prince Po is a mind reader. And their graces will be a weapon in fighting an impious king graced with a powerful skill that curses the land and its people—and threatens to control all the kingdoms. Together with the king’s daughter, Princess Bitterblue, who escaped from his father’s execution, they will face t

The Queen of Attolia

We all know that as the thief of Eddis, Eugenides is strong, clever and fast. But at times, his youth and intense passion lead him almost to his downfall. As his journey continues in  The Queen of Attolia , he will let your jaws drop like asteroid, hearts pulse like horse hooves and hands grip the book like a lifeline due to his enthralling adventures. Though this book is packed with gripping scenes and heartrending twists and turns, in the end it offers a beautiful promise you should not fail to know. She knew I was in the palace,” he said in a low voice, sounding very tired. “She knew where I was hiding, she knew how I’d get out of the city. She knew everything. I’m sorry. In the kingdom of Attolia, Eugenides will see his future. The chase is on, and soon his destiny will unfold. Dawn is still far and he has to run for his life—or scamper between capture and execution, or face both. But before that, you will follow him through the vents of the Attolian palace as he tries his wa

Catching Fire

New game, new rules, the same thrill and excitement… Right when they thought the game was over, they realized it has only just begun… It was mixed feelings that plagued me when I read The Hunger Games’ sequel,  Catching Fire . At the outset, I was reassured that despite the excruciating scenes I witnessed during the game, Katniss and Peeta could finally breath the air of freedom when the shackles of oppression and dominance were unleashed by their inspiring triumph in the arena. They survived the first death-defying wallop of the post-apocalyptic nation of Panem, they had vanquished the other contenders in a battle to death, and they were ready to see the world—their own fragile, little world in District 12 where their families were waiting in anticipation and joy that they made it through. Yet, things didn’t turn out the way Katniss wanted them to be.  Things were not getting better for her and her long-time friend Gale. Peeta had done far worse that it broke her heart. An
