What is the author's style in Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins?

The language used in Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins tends to be relatively informal and relies a great deal on dialogue between the characters. Although Katniss is a trained soldier and face of the rebellion, the jargon used on an informal level is not difficult to understand. However, when referring to battles, tools and other war related issues, the jargon is rarely explained, leaving the reader to muddle through some of the less familiar topics. There are also many references that are not explained and while they are surely understood by readers of the first two books of the trilogy, those who read only the third installment are left to figure things out on their own, a difficult and sometimes impossible task. It takes away from the meat of the story and reduces the reader's enjoyment of the text.
