"Always." Awwww.... yep... if they can fix Peeta, she's ending up with him.
Johanna! I knew she's a bitch, but I like her. Again, honesty goes far with me.
There it is... Gale's not heartless, but it's also not okay. I don't think she'll ever get over it.
There it is again... our Ms Collins explaining things straight out that maybe didn't need it... panem et circenses.
Finnick's wedding! (OK, I'm officially warped... this is such a bright, happy spot, I immediately felt huge dread... *bomb in the cake* *shrapnel at the dancers* *Annie dead in her wedding dress*... don't these people know? NEVER EVER have your happy ending moment in the middle of a book!!! You're doomed!... okay, panic attack over)
Is it wrong that I like Peeta better now that he's being a bit of a jerk? Seriously, I'm warped. There's a reason I can't manage a good relationship. But before he was so thoroughly obsessed with Katniss and I could never really understand where it came from for him... the girl can sing, so you don't even see all her faults? Now we know he can see her faults (ok, maybe an extreme version, but whatevs) but if he can get past that and still love her? Then we'll know that it's not some crush obsession, but that he really sees her for the Katniss she is.
Now we just need to convince him she's not a mutt.
And her that she doesn't actually hate him.
Minor quibbles.
I think that Peeta being a jerk takes away the wussy-ness that had me on Team Gale (or just Team Katniss) in the first two books.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Bev - Peeta being a jerk made me like him SO much better because I felt he was too wimpy and passive before.
ReplyDeleteI actually never put together the Panem = bread & circuses thing. Evidently I never actually learned the Latin for it. Of course, as soon as they SAID the Latin I got it, I didn't need the translation, but it could be that a lot of 15 year olds would have no idea what was going on, so the explanation didn't bother me.
ReplyDeleteI must have read too many Suzanne Collins interviews... The Panem thing was one of the few details she'd talk about. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd whenever there's a teeny thing I object to, it just doesn't even matter because I love her so much.
