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!
Lmao. Does it get better? I can only say what i thought but i will hold off on that for now. But please finish! I am looking forward to having a great discussion with you about this. In fact, I replied to your last comment about catching fire. I really love hearing your pov :)
I will say that I had exactly the same reaction as you to the parts you've mentioned. I kept wishing for the old catnip.
I am so glad it is not me! ** bonds ** I really don't have any patience for tantrums that fit 5-year old in 16-year old girls. And more importantly - I don't want to hear that this is just because she is a teenage girl. NO. NOT ALL TEENAGE GIRLS ARE LIKE THAT. This , in fact, is one of terrible stereotypes about teenage girls that I don't like.
YAY! I am writing a long response to your wonderful comment, but I haven't had time to finish it properly. And I want to write a good response!)
I didn't think it got better, sorry. Katniss didn't get less blinkered and that book had serious pacing issues to boot. It was a potentially interesting story, but it's always delicate when the only narrator is a bit blind and unaware of what goes on around her (and you, the reader, are perfectly aware of how oblivious she can be, which is intensely irritating), and that's definitely not something that improved.
Oh, I am getting a bit frustrated with the fact that nothing new seem to have been shown to us about the Hunger Games Universe. Seriously, my suspicions re: Hunger Games is a rip-off from "Battle Royale" are rekindled because both book 2 and 3 (the books that deviate from "Battle Royale") are not very good and wouldn't have been able to stand on their own.
