Publisher's Summary

My name is Katniss Everdeen. Why am I not dead? I should be dead.

Katniss Everdeen, girl on fire, has survived, even though her home has been destroyed. Gale has escaped. Katniss’ family is safe. Peeta has been captured by the Capitol. District 13 really does exist. There are rebels. There are new leaders. A revolution is unfolding. 

It is by design that Katniss was rescued from the arena in the cruel and haunting Quarter Quell, and it is by design that she has long been part of the revolution without knowing it. District 13 has come out of the shadows and is plotting to overthrow the Capitol. Everyone, it seems, has had a hand in the carefully laid plans - except Katniss. 

The success of the rebellion hinges on Katniss’ willingness to be a pawn, to accept responsibility for countless lives, and to change the course of the future of Panem. To do this, she must put aside her feelings of anger and distrust. She must become the rebels’ Mockingjay - no matter what the personal cost.

Heartbreaking.

So many reviews say that this is the worst of the trilogy, but, for me anyway, this is right up there with the rest, just in a different way. There is no way that anyone could stay the same having endured what Katniss and Peeta endured and I think Suzanne Collins reflected that in the way Katniss is in this. She is heartbroken, depressed, sad, guilty and everything else and it's all battling inside her head. She is broken and maybe nothing will bring her together, but she is trying! My heart broke for her so many times, my heart broke for Peeta, my poor broken heart broke some more for their relationship and then my heart shattered at the end!! No matted how many times I read this book, it never fails but to affect my emotions!!

“You love me. Real or not real?" *Sigh*

Again, Tatiana Maslany narrated this brilliantly. She made Katniss come alive here and portrayed her brokenness perfectly.

Anyway, this series is phenomenal and I urge everyone to try it at least once!

Worth it

Tatiana Maslany was the perfect choice for these books. Listening to them with her narrating brought Katniss and all the horror that was her life and makes it sound real. Don't listen if you don't want to cry.

love the story and love the narrator

I've listened to the hunger games series at least a dozen times via a disc set I bought but this was the first time I've heard it read by Tatiana and it was soooooo much better. the parts I thought were narrated oddly by the other reader, i didn't think much of except to make fun of by how oddly it was read. now that I've heard Tatiana narrate, i will never go back. With the other narrator I was distracted by her odd choices of emotion at times that didn't fit Katniss's character , but with Tatiana's reading, I cried several times when I've never cried reading or listening to this series in the many before. she's pulled the emotion from deep in her soul for this one and I know it will stick with me. 😭

Best book ever!!!!!

Best book ever love it so much helps me under stand everything much better could re-listen every night🌙

Mockingjay

I keep saying this but I forgot how different yet similar the books and movies are. Johanna and Katniss form this odd friendship in this book it was more meaningful I think than what was in the movies.

Even Katniss’s mother isn’t as shaky in the books as she was in the movies its odd to see her so capable. But you still really see that animosity Katniss has for her because of how she didn’t fight when her husband died. You can’t blame Katniss either she was what 11 and had to become strong enough to keep her family from starving.

I have been thinking about these books a lot in the last few days of listening and I don’t think we give Haymitch enough credit. If we take a look at him he was the winner of the second quarter quill and as we know there were twice as many tributes he had to outlive. Then he became a mentor and in 23 years he never had one be a winner so he had to see 46 tributes die while he watched. No wonder he was always in the bottle.

I also forgot how these books made my heart pump and how I felt reading now listening to them. You almost forget its children killing children for politics. It’s crazy.

I said it before but I will say it again I really enjoyed Tatiana’s narration she really did a great job give each book life. Especially with the subject matter, but also when the climax happens she really gave us those emotions. Very enjoyable to listen to.

Amazing Book

Oh My Goodness, this is great. It was so amazing and I couldn’t stop listening!

5 stars

I recommend this book to everyone. Although it is set in a future timeline the lessons of the 3rd book, this book are timeless. The narrator for these three books is amazing. I wish could have done some of the other books I have read

Outstanding

The story and performance work perfectly together to bring the Hunger Games trilogy to a memorable conclusion. I loved it all.

incredible trilogy of books

incredible trilogy!!
very well read.
I could not stop listening.
I hope she rights more of this series.

Tatiana Maslany is the One Ring

This book is a stark, dark look at the depths of humanity. I appreciated this story much more thinking of it as a commentary on power and manipulation. It’s also a good statement on how much we lose when we go to war. Soldiers on both sides deal with trauma and horror for years.

As always, Tatiana Maslany is nothing short of #bossstatus. She injects an emotion into the reading that enriches the story at every level. She truly brought the story and pain to life.

Please listen to this audiobook

Tatiana has conquer my heart in this saga, she's excellent acting out the scenes and a wonderful voice for Katniss, to summarize I will be listening to this books again and again.

It’s really helping me through a tough time I’m high school and I think that Katniss really represents a beautiful young girl
Tatiana deserves a big Pat on the back for this it’s amazing she’s so good at voice acting and a role model for me because I want to do voice acting

Excellent performance and incredible series

The whole series was incredibly well written, rich and deep storyline with diverse, fleshed out characters. The narration was excellent, it wasn’t just “read” it was performed and very well done. Tatiana’s narration is very emotionally driven which works perfectly for a book written in the first person perspective. Would recommend to anyone who has either seen the films and enjoys them or just loves very original stories. As any book lover would say, the books are far better than the films!

these stories never fail to wonder

increcredible- as always. the message and heart behind these stories are so deep and meaningf, especially in the times we live in- I hope you enjoy them as much as I did
