What this book is about
Katniss Everdeen is in District 13 — a district the Capitol claimed was destroyed, that has been underground for decades. She has been recruited as the Mockingjay: the face of the revolution. Mockingjay is the darkest of the trilogy — about propaganda, what war does to the people who fight it, and the cost of becoming a symbol. Some characters do not survive. The ending is not triumphant.
