Mockingjay | Suzzane Collins

I've never liked this conclusion Collins chose for the series. It always felt a bit forced and then patched up with a very unbelievable epilogue.

Re-reading it just confirmed my dislike.
It's like Collins has a comfort zone of writing, and this was way out of it.
The pacing felt wrong, the tension was non-existing and the urgency the other 2 books held fell flat where I would have wanted it to be pivotal.
Now I'm ready for the prequels!

I've finished #Bookchain2025 @TheAromaOfBooks !

Unfortunately the tagged book was not to my liking. Superficial insta-love, unformed minor characters, dynamics that made no sense, slow-burn/angst with an abrupt unearned third-act breakup and no payoff. The MC needed therapy, not a boyfriend.

TheAromaofBooks Great progress on your BookChain, though!! 1w

Captivating, engrossing tale of how seemingly simple choice and secrets can shape lives so different that they don't seem to be connected at all.

Grave Sight | Charlaine Harris

At first I thought, cool a brother and sister duo hunting ghosts - a bit of a Supernatural vibe.
I truly tried to like this.
The main issue was I did not like Harper at all, she's whiny, self-scented and so needy.
The other thing is the story felt forced, and abnormal. Focusing on unnecessary details, while leaving important issues behind for no real reason other than to prolong the book.

At least it's off my shelf now. #donation

I truly enjoyed this one.

I realized that I really like stories like this, where a hiker must battle not only their own inner self but also the harsh surroundings of the trails and all that it entails.

Even though I figured out the mystery early on, the writing was so captivating that I just had to keep listening.
The audio was extremely well-done.
