She is a total mess and psychologically not treatable.
Reading her being filmed and act with cameras around her was hard to read. It’s like she was back in the capitol but more traumatized then ever.
On the other hand, I hate love triangles. And this book did not help either. There were times I hated Katniss for actually playing both of them. The plot was already stressful enough. I just didn’t care about Katniss’s love story. Honestly I preferred the films interpretation.
Hunger Games is an anthem. Will always cherish it.
PSA: I wanted to read this series because I still haven’t watching the ballad of songbirds and snares. But I also wanted to read Crimson Rivers (an ff).

Mockingjay is a war book. It's not my subgenre and reading it is stressful and awful. But, some bloated pacing in the middle notwithstanding, it's a very good book, asking young adult readers challenging questions of culpability in oppressive systems. That passivity can be violent was a massively influential idea for me when I first read this book in 2010 (and forever after).
It's wild that love triangle had the cultural grip that it did because it's actually so sophisticated and complex? The key relationships and characters are so fascinating. I will never not be thinking about Peeta Mellark and Haymitch Abernathy and Finnick Odair.
Some of the pacing in the middle was a little bloated but that ending was something to behold. Every decision.
Excellent narration by Tatiana Maslany.

This is a reread and i forgot how dark this one last book was.
Honestly i hope people could be kind to eachother. With the war in Palestina, we're no better than fiction. What i find truly hurtful os that real people out there is really suffering from the non logical power starved leaders.
I really enjoyed this book, but i still do not like the romance part. There's so much hopelessness in the whole story that it all seems out of place, although I guess that's the fun of it. That love can grow everywhere. (still give's me the ick all that romance, mainly in book two).
