 Mockingjay (The Final Book of The Hunger Games)
Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

I am also writing this long after finishing the book - so my memory is a little hazy.

The only thing I have to add is about the contrast/similarities between President Snow and President Coin.  For most of the book Katniss fights for President Coin and against Snow.  However, she realizes that Coin allowed Prim to die in order to make a political move against Snow.  Katniss realizes they are both murderers and will do whatever is necessary for political survival.  Essentially, there is no difference between them.

In the adult world, things are rarely black and white morally speaking (or really in any terms).  That is often terrifying and confusing when trying to decide how to act as an adult.  Katniss experiences that in this book.

Easy reads - glad I read them.
