But my reaction to them in the last book was: "oh okay. Them together? That's…good, I guess?"
Yeah, me, too. I didn't believe it. I've read some good fic, but other than that....I definitely don't ship Katniss/Gale, so I was kinda Katniss/Peeta by default, but the more I think about it, the less satisfied I am with the execution of it.
Whenever they're in the arena saving each other left and right, when they plain CAN'T LOSE each other, I get it. In the quiet moments, in the dust-settling-down moments? Not so much.
And bam, that’s what hit me at the end of Mockingjay: how are these two going to get on after the end of the war? I feel almost sad, thinking of them left with each other.
OMG YES YES YES YES YES to all of your thoughts. Yes.
because of the pacing and because I find the politics of the Victors absolutely fascinating
Agreed there, though I think the politics of the Victors could be explored in a different context that had more to do with the plot.
Oh how I wanted to see Peeta actually using that famous charisma to lead. And more Mockingjay action from Katniss, please! Would not have said no to two books of her kicking ass and taking names around Panem.
ABSOLUTELY.
:( I do not know what was worse…watching Finnick die like that or Cinna just gone like that.
