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, th...

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, ...

The Thief

“I had wanted everyone to know that I was the finest thief since mortal men were made, and I must have come close to accomplishing the goal. Huge crowds had gathered for my trial. Most of the guards in the prison had turned out to see me after my arrest, and I was endlessly chained to my bed when other prisoners were sometimes allowed the freedom and sunshine of the prison’s courtyard.” True to its deserved outstanding literary distinction,  The Thief  exemplifies the elements of a real winner. With this book, my fascination for young adult fiction fantasy is reassured and further rounded up, especially when I began to travel with Eugenides or “Gen”, the queen’s thief. He can steal everything, except himself out of the king’s prison. Young, clever and distinctively fast, this spirited character is capable of capturing the hearts and imaginations of the readers by drawing the story to the gates of exciting quests packed with adventure, mystery, enchantment, and nerve-r...
