Suzanne Collins» trilogy was the first foray into fiction I enjoyed after a year of research and writing for «A Year of Biblical Womanhood», so I surrendered myself totally to the unfolding stories and, like so many others, lost a lot of sleep as I worked my way through The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and The Mockingjay.

I love the Hunger Games series — both the books and the films — but even I kinda gave Mockingjay, Part 1 some side - eye, because it really felt like the first part of a story, rather than a film in and of itself.

Best - case scenario: Lawrence»n' Lawrence continue with what worked so well in the first Mockingjay (emotional YA drama that touches on propaganda, war, and their costs) with the added bonus of a story that's actually allowed to resolve.

The missed opportunities with political commentary and a more in - depth love story do not harm the entertainment value here, and the box office success guarantees we will see «Catching Fire» and «Mockingjay» to finish out the trilogy.

Following on from the first Mockingjay, the second part of the story finds Katniss and the rebels making the final push against Donald Sutherland's scheming President Snow and the Capitol, with lives on the line and sacrifices to be made.
