the owl and the olive tree

Amen to this post. The only way the book makes sense to me is that it's a PTSD thing and not much survives war intact, like how they got Gale conveniently out of the romantic running and made Katniss's whole involvement moot in one fel swoop. But yes, she never dealt with grief over Prim, i mean they had her locked up and insane but that wasn't really enough. And having her vote yes on hunger games with the Capital kids was a huge character about face. It really did feel like we spent the whole book watching someones soul die and while that moves with the anti war message it's a bit unsatisfying.

Rachel you got knives right?
