OOOOHHHH goodness that ending :,,,) I'm not scared anymore (crying)
sooooo this was my least favorite of the series!! but that does not mean I didn't enjoy it. I think the reason it was my least favorite is because the author kept doing this interesting thing that I'm not sure how to describe exactly.... I'm going to call it predictive emotion. A scene would happen, with the author very literally describing what was happening (think "I told Peeta I would see him the next day") and then the next sentence would be putting emotion behind whatever the action was (think "That made Peeta furious, because he could tell I was upset") and I was constantly thinking.... really? The predictive emotion I was supposed to gather from the happenings "on-screen", so to speak, felt inaccurate to me many many times. I was like.... is that the emotion I'm supposed to get from that conversation?? Am I.... stupid????
to give the author the benefit of the doubt, maybe that is the reason they were using so much predictive emotion, because most people wouldn't understand the emotional tones without the author specifying what we should understand/feel? Maybe that was their intention to make things more clear? It sort of just left me wondering if I was speaking and acting like an alien or if that was the characters in this story.
