Hunger Games *More Spoilers*
Ok, that was just cruel. Poor Peeta! Doesn't Katniss realize that they're probably going to have to get married? That if they split up that the government will be full of ire? Will Peeta be able to survive Katniss's indecision? Will she have to have secret side affairs with Gale? Will the next book be all about their stormy relationship mixed with their first attempt to help the next round of kids picked for the hunger games? Will they end up hating each other? OH my goodness. I hate cliffhangers. I may have to go write some really soppy fan fiction to cheer myself up. I'm glad that Peeta didn't die, but having her fake love for him, making him live in a world where Katniss doesn't love him seems a much worse fate than dieing to save her. Maybe he'll get over her. Likely not. She may even work out her feelings and realize that she does love Peeta after all. But will it be too late? I really love surly, gutsy Katniss. She's a great character. Freakin' heck.

So you liked the book, then, eh? :) Honestly, I didn't really pay much attention to the relationship thing, except in how it related to manipulating the games. I wouldn't want to read a sequel that dealt solely in Katniss figuring out her loyalties. I do know this is a trilogy.
ReplyDeleteAnd honestly, I didn't really feel like the end cliffhanged (cliffhung?) too much. I read one review that said they actually wish there WASN'T a sequel, because they liked the vague unsurity that was left. I didn't feel immediately that I had to read Catching Fire. I felt okay with the end of the Games. Of course, I WILL go out and buy CF the first day it comes out, but I'd have been okay without it.
Seriously though, this is one of those can't put down books. Amazing. One of my two favorite reads of 2009.
I found a review of "Catching Fire," it looks like they start a rebellion. That should be interesting.
