Oh, I meant she is Sansa in reverse, not Sansa proper. :D I like your comparison with Robb , it is quite fitting! Love it actually. but I don't like Robb (well, I don't hate him but he is such a silly boy

Katniss has huge flaws that's very true ^^. She's very moody and it shows a lot more now. Somehow Peeta had a very good influence on her in this part. Even if she doesn't aknowledge or say it, she replicates a tiny bit her behaviour/decisions on his. That's why what comes has such impact (you must not be very far from it now

Oh, don't remind me about Battle Royale! :D I thought that the first book of HG was way WAY better , both in the character development and in the world building sense, and now I suspect that the credit here should go to "Battle Royale" and other books Collins took the ideas from. Both second and third books of HG (the books where Collins moves away from the ideas she has taken from other books and tries to write her own stuff) are so so much weaker than the first.
yes, sometimes it is really "the worst" when you have big expectations. I have seen "hunger Games" being called a feminist book too many times!
Take me right, i don't dislike Katniss. And crossbows ? OH YES! I have gulped all up-to-date episodes of "The walking Dead" season 2 (thanks goes to you here, with your picture of older Rickon :D) - AND OH MY.
You see, I have "on principle" disagreement with "hunger Games", and when I have one of those, no amount of crossbows can distract me, I am idealistic like that. :D I am really REALLY unhappy that one single young female character that most definitely had a potential to be non-stereotypical, non-cliche and feminist was "spoiled" at the end. For me, the cluelesness (oh, teenage girls are so naive!) and self-engrossment (oh, teenage girls are like this!) and weepiness/tantrums (teenage girls are like this!) are terrible stereotypes that often are applied to teenage girls. And I object here. STRONGLY.

Well I really like Katniss. But then again you know how weak I can be with a girl and a crossbow :p.
