Mockingjay

I get why some people have really taken against the third book in this trilogy as it has a major change in tone from the previous duo. It's a good job I like downbeat and depressing. Though there were many dark elements in the previous two novels a lot of it was kept under the surface from a moral if not narrative point of view. Here they have bubbled fully to the surface with katniss' psychological break up at the forefront. I think it's a logical progression of the world created and it was brave to risk alienating your readership with such a dystopian dystopia. The questions regarding the ethics of using terror tactics in warfare such as the double bombing, the use of propaganda and the effects of war and torture on the psyche were interestingly raised. Only negative again, not enough effie but this was resolved in the film.??
