My name is Katniss Everdeen. Why am I not dead? I should be dead. Katniss Everdeen, girl on fire, has survived, even though her home has been destroyed. Gale has escaped. Katniss' family is safe. Peeta has been captured by the Capitol. District 13 really does exist. There are rebels. There are new leaders. A revolution is unfolding. It is by design that Katniss was rescued from the arena in the cruel and haunting Quarter Quell, and it is by design that she has long been part of the revolution without knowing it. District 13 has come out of the shadows and is plotting to overthrow the Capitol. Everyone, it seems, has had a hand in the carefully laid plans--except Katniss. The success of the rebellion hinges on Katniss' willingness to be a pawn, to accept responsibility for countless lives, and to change the course of the future of Panem. To do this, she must put aside her feelings of anger and distrust. She must become the rebels' Mockingjay--no matter what the personal cost.

Catching Fire
Same reluctant symbol, same love triangle and arena trauma, but this installment builds dread toward rebellion instead of living inside full-scale war.
The sky is everywhere
Keeps the raw grief and torn-between-two-boys ache, but trades war and body counts for a quieter contemporary story about siblings healing.
The Heir (The Selection #4)
Another girl caught between two suitors in a rigid dystopian caste system, though far lighter, romance-forward, and without the battlefield trauma.
The One (The Selection #3)
Rebellion pressing against palace walls plus a love triangle with a nation at stake, but softer, swoonier, and much less brutal.
It's Not Summer Without You
Same grief-soaked love triangle and chosen-family bonds, scaled down to a beach summer and loss from illness rather than war.
After You
For the aftermath feel: surviving loss and rebuilding with a support group turned family, adult-voiced, no dystopia, gentler pain.
