Hahaha, I actually ran out of my room, said CONSTANT VIGILANCE!, got blank looks from my family and then went back to reading.
I was Team Katniss Ends Up Alone Cause That's The Type Of Person She Seems To Be.
YESSSS. I actually really love Peeta and if I were Katniss (or, more accurately if Katniss were me), I'd pick Peeta in a heartbeat, but this is Twilight where the main character is just a blank slate on which to project yourself. I was never fully convinced of Katniss's feelings for either of the "love interests," so I honestly couldn't see myself being pleased with her "choice" either way.
And even then, it wasn't really a choice, it was just "Oh, Gale's gone and my town is empty so it's either Peeta or Haymitch at this point." And I could probably see her and Haymitch ending up together more than she and Peeta, that's the sad thing.
AND THE CHILDREN THING. I get that the Hunger Games don't exist anymore, so her main reason for not having children is gone, but then why waste the time writing about it in the first book? Did she really plan out these books at all, I wonder?
And I didn't feel like she had any sort of emotional attachment to her kids in the epilogue. It was just "Oh, Peeta talked me into it." These are CHILDREN, not a new TV and I'm uncomfortable at the implication that it's okay to just acquiesce to that sort of pressure.
omg so sorry for the comment novel. I just have a lot of thoughts about this. xD
AH YES I forgot about the sleep discussion thing. SO TWILIGHT. And it didn't even really add much of anything to the story. Like, at all. No, really WHY DID THAT LITTLE DISCUSSION TAKE PLACE?
I completely agree about the editor thing. It just doesn't feel right. =/
