This week I finished Mockingjay, the final novel in the Hunger Games series. It culminates to an intense final battle between the capitol and the districts. Katniss and the district 13 army have turned all of the other districts against the capitol and they have begun to attack the capitol. The capitol has been booby-trapped and has been  set up in an almost arena like fashion. It is fitting that it will come to an end in an arena for Katniss on her mission to kill President Snow. At the end President Snow is taken captive and The Leader of District 13 President Coin comes to the survivors of the games and asks them if they would like to have another hunger games with the children of the capitol, after which she tells Katniss that she will be able to execute President Snow in front of the entire nation of Panem. When Katniss lifts her bow she takes aim and shoots not the President she is supposed to, Snow, but the successor, Coin. The rest of the book describes Katniss' life with Peeta and their children.
