Hunger Games Finale Doesn't Disappoint

I finished Mockingjay this morning, and Suzanne Collins concludes the series in a nice way.  Sometimes, it seems like authors have trouble wrapping up their stories.  They either drag on way too long or it finishes so quickly that some questions aren't answered.  This is what I teach as the falling action on a plot diagram.  It's often a short section that follows the climax, but it's very important.  Throughout the 3 books in this series, Ms. Collins helped you to really know the characters and their relationships.  In this final book, she planned well and explained how every problem was resolved.
I can't say that these books were my favorite, but the last one was definitely the best.
