A lot of my problems with this book were often very small things that stacked on top of one another until it felt like a substantial pile of issues, but there was one problem I felt really stood out. A part of me feels like the knowledge of
Something I feel would greatly improve this issue is to just give Prim the slightest bit of conflict with Katniss, an easy way of doing this would be for Prim in Catching Fire to be mad at Katniss for volunteering for the games in her place. Even though Katniss came back alive, maybe there could be some sense of "How could you make me think you would die, I watched you every day hoping you'd make it," and she could feel conflicted about voicing that opinion cause she didn't even go through the games, so what right would she have to complain. All of this could be hanging over Katniss's head until the Quarter Quell is announced and maybe Prim realizes being mad about this isn't worth it, but it's too late and Katniss is gone. I don't know, I wanted Prim to be more that just some pure, healing angel or
Also I didn't like how Peeta was kind of just...

now to be fair, while 14-year-olds were ostensibly the target audience, how many 14-year-olds were really equipped to deal with the themes and questions put forward by mockingjay? how were 14-year-olds supposed to understand what was going on with president coin, or why katniss didn’t make her romantic choice until the last paragraph in the most undramatic manner?
so i stand by my belief that the hunger games should not have been YA books. mockingjay does tell a good story, even with all its tragedies, which is evident when you’re 27. but that good story is ridiculously rushed. so my new the hot take is that mockingjay should have been two books. i think both more things needed to happen plot-wise in the revolution, and we needed more time spent on some of the things that did happen. (admittedly an argument that could be made for any of these books).
conveniently taking this stance means the controversial stance that it was correct to have two mockingjay movies is further validated. it SHOULD have been two movies because it should have been two BOOKS!!!!!!!!
