I have heard mixed reviews about the ending, but upon sneaking a few spoilerish-glancesI don't mind bleak endings, but I still can't get more than a few pages into Mockingjay. I'll try again some day.I see the ending is super bleak.
This makes me want to read it even more! I'm sure it's why I've received mixed reviews; there are a lot of people in this world who don't like bleak endings.
I have finally, after 9 years of saying I would, started on the Vorkosigan Saga by Lois M. Bujold. It has been in the top 10-20 of any top-100 Sci-Fi or Sci-Fi/Fantasy book list I've seen for the past decade. I also needed a break from the typical fantasy novel and opted for Sci-Fi, since I love it so much and it has been too long since I ventured in to space.
Only on book 2 so far but I'm enjoying it!
Speaking of starting something, I was eyeing up Lord of the Rings earlier today, thinking I would have another go at it. It's not moved from the bookcase as yet..
