Mockingjay
discussion
Worst. F**king. Ending. Ever!
i have reread the ending many times, to feel that emptiness. Everything that have happened in the characters where truly disturbing and i think there are a lot of loose ends that need to be considered. But again, i think this is the best possible option for Collins to end the story. It is better to be this way than to stretch the story more where it is no longer necessary and will just ruin the personality of the characters.
It was like salvaging the whole wreck in the characters' life.
It was like salvaging the whole wreck in the characters' life.
The ending felt like it was shoved it for no further purpose than shock value. I think Collins knew she had the ability to break our hearts and went on and did it. Sort of like GOT. There's not always purposes to the deaths on that show-the writer enjoys the reactions and we give them to 'em. Trust me-I'm a writer. If I kill someone off and no one gets upset I will sulk! Lol. Katniss went into the games to save Prim-and so if Collins wanted to twist a knife in our hearts-it should have been Katniss who died. I'm not saying she deserved to, or that Prim was even a really important character for me-I don't think I cried I was just shocked-but it would have sent her message home a lot more.
There was no love triangle in this story. I think there was supposed to be but she changed tack. I actually would have preferred her to Finnick, who's a lot like Tristan in my books. Gale just sort of dissolved to nothing and Peeta actually sort of became a big nothing, but yeah, would have preferred Gale over Peeta.
I just don't get what happened. I can think of ten different ways that story could have been ended (actually written-all of Mockingjay was pretty blah compared to the first two which were incredible!) but we got the story we were given.
I've re-read them 5 times now but stop after the first 2-I end it in my own head!

I did like how there was a happy ending with Katniss and Peeta . Im a sucker for the hollywood ending (Even though a lot of people died in this )
I don't have a problem with the fact that Prim died or that Katniss wound up with Peeta and not Gale (preferably neither) or the fact that it was downright sad. What I hate is that it shows that a hero can't come out with out being completely unfunctional. She was strong and able but broke into the pieces by the end. It was not the Katniss that we started with and I think that is what makes me upset.
I enjoyed the ending, as I felt it was the most fitting way to end such a story. War, no matter what the context, never ends well. People die. Those who live are often left with horrendous mental images that they must face for the rest of their lives. I kind of wish Suzanne hadn't written out such a set conclusion, with Peeta and the children, but oh well.

i think the author should have explained it more in the end. it seems like she is rushing the ending.

George R. R. Martin's purpose behind the books (and, by extension, the show) is to take all of the tired cliches and tropes in fantasy fiction and toss them. Heroes die, villains get rewarded, good does not triumph over evil 100% of the time, and the the noble soul does not ride off into the sunset with an ale in hand and the hottest wench on the continent on his... er... saddle, because all of that has been done to death. The "pointless deaths" in Game of Thrones are the entire point!
(By the way... Joe Abercrombie does the anti-cliched fantasy much better. Just saying.)
Meanwhile, Collins' point with Prim was much clearer: war is destructive, and harsh, and innocents die in the crossfire all of the time. All the sacrifice Katniss did for her to live a sheltered life in District 12 was useless once the rebellion against the Capitol broke out. In short, it was meant to punctuate the fruitlessness of war.
It also served to illustrate that neither side of the conflict was innocent. Coin was as corrupt and horrific as Snow.
I don't think I missed the point-I saw the writer on a talk show laughing his ass of about how fun it is to shock the audience and make people physically ill. He lit up like Santa.Lol anti-santa.
And I think Collins spent a good deal of time in those books pointing out that suffering was the negative means to a positive end. For every terrible thing that happened, something wonderful happens after to prove the worth of putting others first. It instills a mood within the reader. But in the end, she didn't continue that pattern and people are upset because they had depended on a happy ending that was somewhat promised but not delivered.
Once old mate loses his head in GOT, the bar is set for the rest of the series. You know everyone is at risk and will have their moment of tragedy. But in the Hunger Games, you expect otherwise.

People who had read A Storm of Swords knew exactly what was about to happen, and made sure to record every last gasp and tear from their friends who were just learning that GRRM spared no one.
I As to the rest... while I can sort of see where you're coming from, I think it's naive to assume that the pattern would continue to the end. By having a safe, predictable ending, she would have lost a lot of the impact for her deeper messages.
Once old mate loses his head in GOT, the bar is set for the rest of the series. You know everyone is at risk and will have their moment of tragedy. But in the Hunger Games, you expect otherwise.
...and that's exactly why the end of Mockingjay is so much better than the book leading up to it.
Lol for you. For others-it warranted a thread ;)
S.K. wrote: "Lol for you. For others-it warranted a thread ;)"Do I need to explicitly state "in my opinion?" :-P
A thread implies discussion. I am merely promoting and participating in this discussion. I already put forth my reasons why the ending is superior to the entire storyline leading up to it earlier in the thread. If I need to, I'll expand on it when classes let out.
I love the whole Hunger Games concept - it's intelligent and interesting, but the last one was undoubtedly a disappointment. It felt like I was ready a lame computer game. Bang, bang, POW, ZAP... a pity!
Mockingjay is definitely something to think about. I am 13 and just finished reading the series for the third time. I feel that Suzanne Collins had a really good plot going and then Mockingjay kind of fell apart. It was by far my least favorite book of the trilogy. I have different opinions on Prim's death. For one, I am appalled and hated that she died. Hated it. However, I can see how it provoked some of the decisions Katniss made. I do not think it was wise of Collins to make the periods of time where Katniss is depressed and suicidal so prolonged; it gives a horrible feeling to the book. And don't even get me started on Peeta. I think he was definitely up there for best character with Prim and Cinna. Of course, they both had to die and Peeta's fate was worse than death. I think hijacking him was a questionable part of the book. It made Katniss realize how much she loves him, but I think that the ending was awful and depressing. I just wanted him to go back to the normal Peeta, the loving Peeta, and while it says that they "grow back together", I never really felt that. I'm extremely glad Katniss picked Peeta, but the scenario in which she does is all WRONG!!! Oh, how I miss the real Peeta and hoped that there would be a scene where he kind of snaps back to the real him from a moment with Katniss or something. It sounds cheesy but this book has absolutely none of that and every book needs some kind of happiness. I will never forgive Suzanne Collins for doing that to Peeta. Never. And so in the ending, I also felt that it was weird how isolated Katniss was. How much time passes? Years? Months? Is District 12 rebuilt? Are there "districts" at all? I really wish there was more about that. I think that if I tried, I could write a better ending of the book. Not to be boastful, but I think anyone could! Most books that make me throw them at the wall I learn to love, but this one is an exception. Thanks for the hours of depression and nightmares, Suzanne.

in the trilogy catching fire is my favorite and i ca i this is my least. i felt that the author did rush the ending of the story, and i do, i mean i did hate some of the characters , like how peeta bacame so "useless" in mockingjays? and her mother left her? can't she learn how to overcome the fear and sadness? she only had katniss left , now how was katniss supposed to feel being left alone ?some miserable feelings i felt in this book .
xoxo
I liked the Hunger Games trilogy but i think that she could have ended it a little better and i am 11 years old(turning 12 in November)!!
Meh, Mockingjay was definitely a screwed up ending/book general. The fact that her sister died, (Can't remember their names) was so F**ked up that I didn't want to read more.

Personally I thought the ending was depressing and somewhat stupidly pointless. I would have ended it with Peeta dying to save Katniss, and her killing Coin and then living a long life alone because she realized that she did love Peeta. I don't really care about what happens to Gale because his part in all of the books were so small and really just there to cause trouble and annoyances for NO reason.

I never thought about having Peeta die for her. I like it much better than the ending because in my opinion, it's better to die who you are than live who you're not. I loved Peeta so much and I think your ending would also really show the readers that Katniss pulls it together and realized who she really loves. :D
I hated the ending to the series! I felt that nothing was resolved and the ending to the whole trilogy was puzzling.

But it is such kind of stupid (yet amazing) authors that seriously make me want to threaten them to rewrite the book!I think it was TOTALLY fucking NOT necessary to make Prim die in the story. It would really be maddening to think of Katniss without Prim or Gale..
I think you're more upset about how it ended because, that's not how you wanted it to end. Life does not work that way- everyone could not make it out living happily,ever after. Which is why this series is great.
I agree the book was terrible. I did not like the action because quite frankly, I felt I was reading a horror book instead of an adventure book. The war in the city was very hard to follow. I thought she must have rushed the story for the motion picture folks?

Hey! I know this thread is super old, but I remember going online after finishing the novel and looking for other people who felt like I did after reading the ending and I don't know why, but I didn't end up posting anything that night, so I'll do it now just to get it out of my system.I was so confused when I turned the last page, I felt numb, I didn't know what to think. I think I might have actually been a little in shock or grief or something.
Then for a while I absolutely hated the ending, then I love-hated it, because even after weeks I couldn't forget about it and that means something, right?
Now, I guess I kinda like it.
It makes so much sense, because it does NOT make sense and it doesn't have to. I mean, what is the whole book about? About terrorising a people by showing them war and death and love and then leaving them with just a spark of hope to make them believe in a happy ending and that everyone DOES have a chance in the end. Which is just not reality. The strongest one wins and the others die. LOTS of people die in a war. Why should a fragile little girl be spared just because she's the sister of someone? I mean sure, I know that novels don't exist to exactly depict reality, but I like that the author chose the ending to be like that. After everything she's been through, who would have believed a Katniss-marries-her-true-love-and-lives-happily-ever-after-ending? That's not was the story was about anyway. The weird love triangle thing was just in the background and partly faked anyway. And I guess she did manage to be kind of content in the end, just the fact that she decides to have children shows that (which means she hopes that the world they will live in is not going to be as horrible as the world she grew up in). Phew.... it's weird how this still affects after literally YEARS.
Good series. I like it :) Brilliantly done.
And I'm looking forward to the second movie. (Jennifer Lawrence is a treasure)
Wow, rant over, there mind, have some peace :D

The fact is that the author abdicated her responsibility to present a clear, logical, well presented story for. . . well, I have no clue why, she just did. Things like plot development, character development, use of POV. . . nope, fuck all that. Theme trumps all and the story has to serve her theme.
I know reality sucks. I know good guys don't always win and we don't all marry the homecoming queen and sometimes you can't stop the ones you love from dying. I know governments are oppressive and rich people are greedy and people die in war.
Since I know all this, Mockingjay wasted my time by not only telling me happy endings don't exist, but it had nothing new to say about the subject. Worse yet, this subject was presented in a confusing, rushed way and violated the character development of Katniss. A writer's job, in order to not waste the time of the reader is to either say something new or present something already known in an interesting way so we get new insight on the topic and ourselves.
Collins did neither in Mockingjay.

Look at A Song of Ice and Fire. It's f****** heartbreaking, good guys are being killed off in every book, bad guys triumph...that series represents the reality of war and is epic. I love it, it's one of my favorites.
Mockingjay, on the other side, is just so rushed and sloppy. THAT is my problem with it, not that it didn't get a typical happy ending.
To conclude, I don't need a happy ending to love a book, just that it makes sense, has no plot holes etc. Mockingjay failed miserably at that.
I hated it when she tried to commit suicide.I mean come one! Hollywood called it a frseh take on feminine heros. And then she gets depressed and relies and Peta. Ugh smh
I liked the ending and dont agree with David but, im also sad that prim died all-in-all it was a good book "not every story can have a happy ending..."

I usually hate books, even movies, with sad endings; however, I thought this series ended with perfect melancholy. Don't misunderstand, I hated that Prim died. But I felt like the whole trilogy was building towards it! This was not a story where the Hero and Heroine could just skip way. They had been through too much... the country had been through too much. It's like those terrible War stories that we all find so nostalgic now. I did however think the last couple of chapters felt rushed.
meh i didnt have problems with the ending
Can I just say that this book (Mockingjay) was a emotional rollercoaster for me. I loved Hunger Games and Catching Fire as well. But this book was too chaotic, in the sense that the poor Katniss didn't got out of one situation when she was already on another even worse. I felt like there was too much going on for one book. I know the story required further action due to get a proper conclusion and get a clarification of all the characters in the book. But It was too much too quickly. I found myself in a difficult situation where I didn't know how to keep up with the book. I am not sure how to put it into words but it was like there was too much too all over the place. That is probably the only thing I really disliked about the book. But as much as I became sadden by Prim's death, Cinna's as well, I think it was necessary for the sole purpose of the book. Katniss would not have been able to figure out that Coin was using her, so that Coin can rule over Panem. I just wished that she would have been able to kill Snow herself as well as a payback for all the things He did to her.
I felt hollow when I finished the book but I think that was the author's intention. It was war, after all. There was a lot to cram in, and I think the movie of MJ (split into two parts) may help flesh it out more. I think it was a realistic ending with the characters running true to form. Prim's death was necessary as the catalyst to kill Coin who would have been as oppressive a leader as Snow had been. Coin's actions also stymied Katniss' mission to capture Snow and kill him, foreshadowed when Coin said 'I'll flip you for it', when Katniss made it a condition for her to be the Mockingjay.
Far from being emotionless when Prim died, Katniss goes into a profound depression only to recover long enough to kill Coin. In this, she became like her mother who suffered depression when her husband died. The detachment on Katniss' part on the deaths of Finnick and Boggs is the detachment of soldiers in battle whose friends and companions are being killed around them. You have to get on with the job and mourn later.
The gulf between Katniss and Gale was there before Prim died. They had different values and the only times she seemed inclined to show him affection was when he was in pain or wanting to alleviate her own out of loneliness and desperation (ie. Gale saying it was like kissing someone who's drunk).
It's not only any blame Katniss may feel towards Gale's part in Prim's death it's also about Gale's feelings of guilt. Both of them remind each other of Prim, not to mention all the other children killed. Gale doesn't even have the courage to visit Katniss while's she recovering from her burns (something else Gale may feel guilty about)- it's not just about Katniss feeling anger towards Gale, it's also about Gale feeling anger towards himself.
The end of their relationship was foreshadowed in HG when Katniss says that if Gale married, she would not be jealous but would miss her hunting partner. And, since Gale ends up with a fancy job in District 2, would he have made a good companion for a girl suffering from PTSD who prefers to live a quiet life?
Katniss loved Peeta by the end of CF. It's not articulated but Katniss' actions make it obvious - just not obvious to Katniss. Haymitch said to Peeta in HG that it would take a lot to convince her.
Katniss isn't a girl who wanted to be a hero. She's a survivor who found herself buffeted by events and the people around her. It wasn't her idea to be a symbol for the rebellion. It was Cinna's idea to 'market' her as such. The people's idea to adopt it. And then Coin's idea to exploit it. Katniss' moment of greatness came when she killed Coin - entirely her own idea and entirely for her own reasons.
The ending was hopeful. It would be unrealistic for Katniss not to have ill-effects from what had happened to her. Katniss having children of her own demonstrated how much trust and hope Katniss had for the future.

Without prims death there wouldn't have been a reason to kill coin, something that needed to be done. Not only that but katness is now in a prime possition to do so, if she failed there wouldn't be much that coin could do to extract revenge or set an example besides physical torture.
As for the gale and Pete thing. I don't believe it would have ended differently if prim survived. Yes katness and gale were friends since the beginning but war has changed them both and they gradually grew apart. I don't believe she would have be able to accept his mercenary way of thinking in the long run. I believe she would have seen peta as a better match in the end, or more likely in my opinion stayed single and lived with her sister.

I understand that's it frustrating and the writing style leaves something to be desired. However the story ended well for what it was. Katnisses ending represented everyone else's outcomes as well as her own. it wasn't perfectly happy or even good for some, but it was livable and more importantly hopeful. Throughout the whole story katness was the poster child for the districts, there life style, pain, and fighting spirit when push. Why should the ending be any different?

I felt that Katniss didn't choose to kill Coin. I felt that she was manipulated into it by Snow, and that feeling tainted the whole thing. It made Katniss just a pawn. I would've liked it better if it had been Katniss's choice, but after her last talk with Snow followed by Snow's laughter after Katniss shot Coin, made me feel that he had pushed her to do it. That was what bothered me about the ending, that this strong girl who chose to eat the berries rather than play the Capitol's game in the first book basically became a pawn used by everyone in the end. I prefer to see characters grow rather than regress even if regression is just as, maybe even more in some cases, realistic.
I thought the ending was amazing. Because it was realistic. In the real world, things don't end up in a nice neat bun and the whole premise of the series is unhappiness, suffering, grief. I cried like a baby at the ending for a good ten minutes because the Suzanne Collins conveyed grief in the most amazing way - I have never ever felt such sadness for a character, and happiness for her that things became sort of okay in the end. This is the beauty of Ms Collins writing! I would have been disappointed if it had ended any other way.
I wholeheartedly agree about bad ending in Mockingjay. Like oh my god, what! I can't believe that Prim was killed. That just blew my mind. I do not like how Katniss was locked up in that room & treated the way she was after she killed President Coin after all she had done for everyone. That was just cruel. And I hate that Gale & Katniss was not able to end up together at the end. Hate she settled for Peeta, she didn't love him! She settled, plain & simple. Bad ending.

There's two reasons why I don't think Snow manipulated Katniss into assassinating Coin. Snow certainly puts it into Katniss' head that it was a rebel bomb that killed the Capitol children and Prim. He gives a plausible story but Katniss isn't convinced. She reasons it out - she knows for a fact the rebels had those kind of double-exploding bombs (but not sure if the Capitol did), Snow made no escape attempt, and she agrees with his assessment of Coin. She also questions why a thirteen-year-old was sent to the front line and that the order must have come from high up. She speculates as to how this would benefit Coin and comes up with two possible explanations - to break her or to bring her on side. Remember Boggs' warning - that if Katniss didn't support Coin as Snow's successor, she was a threat.
When she asks Gale if it was his bomb, he can't deny that it might have been. Lastly, Katniss remembers the agreement she made with Snow that they wouldn't lie to each other. He hadn't given her any reason before not to believe him.
However, that's only one part of Katniss' motivation in killing Coin. The other is the continuance of the Hunger Games - its abolition the reason why Katniss rebelled. Haymitch asks Coin whether it was Plutarch's idea. Coin says it was hers. So Katniss thinks it over - we're not given details of how she does it - and then votes 'yes', 'for Prim'. The reader knows that's the last thing Prim would have wanted, however, if Katniss voted differently Coin would know she didn't have Katniss' full support.
So even if a case can be made for Snow manipulating Katniss about the bomb, he had nothing to do with Coin proposing another Hunger Games.
I can't put into words my frustration with this book I absolutely loved the first and second but then mockinjay was really badly put together and there were so many gaps in the storyline and so many unanswered questions.
I'm not one for cookie cutter endings..and despite what some of you are saying I hated how it ended in a sad way because for me a book is supposed to be an escape from real life where people die and bad things happen, I already hear enough about death and war in the world... And although prims death played a big part in the story I still don't think her death was necessary SC could have found another way to kill off coin she's a writer! ... Oh yeah and finnick and Boggs dying what the hell!! That was totally unnecessary.

It could be said that all deaths in war are unnecessary and The Hunger Games trilogy is fundamentally about war. If it were only the characters we don't care much about who die it wouldn't be realistic. Nor would it have the same punch if the idea is to show the horrors of war. That you care so much for the characters shows SC's skill. Prim's death achieved quite a few things. It severed the last link between Gale and Katniss leaving her free to be with Peeta without guilt about hurting Gale. It gave Katniss another reason to kill Coin. It also gave her the excuse to (nominally) agree to another Hunger Games ('for Prim'). As a 'Greek Tragedy', which the story is based on (Greek drama was nearly always based on Greek myth, HG on the Theseus myth specifically), it was the final irony that the purpose for Katniss's original sacrifice came to nothing in the end.
And possibly the most important reason is that the double exploding bomb, intended to also kill the people who came to the victims aid, ended up killing people from both sides. It's all very well to think of the victims as abstract figures or collateral damage, as Gale did, until it affects you personally.
I thought it was a great and powerful ending.
