Athena Bean's review of Mockingjay (The Hunger Games, #3)

3/5: This one was probably my least favorite of the trilogy. It's just totally dark and upsetting. No character is safe. It always gets me when Katniss abused that cat. She literally has no empathy. I...

Have to say, its really fun to run into readers from the future. Apparently, they can read books that are still merely an idea/title, and… rate them 1 ⭐️.

Are you confused? Yeah, me, too.
