The Hunger Games Post (Finally)
Well... Finished the Hunger Games Trilogy tonight. I also finished crying from how depressing it is. Excellent books, but dear lord, no more sad stuff for me. At least not for a while. My heart ;_;
Of course all my favorite characters died. Which I'm not shocked about, really. In most series I find myself diving into, I pretty much expect my favorites to die. I'm just surprised that I didn't actually cry over them like I did when Sirius fell behind a tapestry and didn't come out and is still there because in my head, Rowling didn't write the last three books with the same conviction as she did the first four therefore all the crap that follows is not real. I ended up sobbing at the last chapter of the book when... well, no soilers. I don't know how to screen stuff, so for now all I can say is I cried at the end.
And I love all the couples in this series. The canon couples in this are amazing and hit all the right buttons for me.
Favorite characters I have here (Some dead, some alive:) :
Peeta: I was so shocked by how much he grew on me because usually I go for guys who are more like Gale. (And by the end, I really didn't care for Gale.) But he totally won me over and continued to win me over every single book even in moments where I almost lost interest in him. Plus his personality was just... yeah. There is something about his voice that draws you in, even though it's Katniss's thoughts your reading.
Cinna: Totally fits my type of character. That thoughtful, enigmatic, yet compassionate type. I love him, even though he was kind of a minor character. Think Remus Lupin before book 7 butchered everything that made him likable, only quieter and far less shabby.
Finnick: Oh Finnick... Oh my God, I really didn't expect to love him as much as I did, because his sort of character at first glance isn't my type. At all. And then you learn about him, really get to know him, and suddenly it clicks why people like him so much. He doesn't appear until book 2, but so worth the wait.
Prim: She really isn't a major character until the last book, but once you start to see more of her, you understand just why she's really the glue that holds her family together. She's frail on the outside, yet strong and the voice of reason when others need it most. She's my favorite female character in the books. (Aside from perhaps, Johanna, who the complete opposite.)
In short, I liked the books. I'll probably never read them again because, well, DEPRESSING. But I strongly suggest that people read them. They really make you think about life differently. They make you appreciate the kind of world we live in verses the one Katniss describes, at least.
