Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins | The Witty Banter Book Club #53

REAL OR NOT REAL? This week we read the final book in the original trilogy of The Hunger Games. This is NOT a spoiler free episode so please be cautious. We are also joined once more by Kate who is hosting this episode! Exciting for her! This book is great. It is great conclusion to the series. Throughout this books we are met with sadness, sacrifice, consequence, and optimism that I think really encapsulates the political landscape. The Hunger Games is a modern classic and truly presents some excellent social and political commentary. Anyway... Katniss has survived the 75th Hunger Games and is adjusting, poorly, to life in District 13. The President of District 13, Alma Coin, and the game maker from the 75th games, Plutarch Heavensbee are looking to use Katniss to rally the rebel cause. Despite the hardships of adjusting to 13, Katniss has found a new tool to use, power. With her new found power she leverages the freedom of captured tributes, safety for her family, and being the one to execute President Snow in exchange for preforming the tasks of the Mockingjay. She focuses on her military training and seeks to get her revenge on President Snow while the rest of the country seeks Freedom. Thank you so much for watching this episode!
