I actually like that Katniss got married to Peeta, but that might just be me. Yeah, I wish that not so many of the characters died, especially Prim, that was just the saddest ever. The ending was okay, I guess.

I don't actually like Gale much, in my opinion, he's one of those mostly-characterless, handsome best friends who is a staple in dystopian romances. I know Katniss would never marry him, and I was perfectly fine with that. My sister isn't, but I think it's mostly because she has a massive crush on Peeta and wants him to herself.

I'm fine with Rue's death. I mean, it was sad, but I never got to see farther than her sweet innocence, and she was better for the story dead than alive.

Finnick? He's one of my favorite characters. The last time I read it, I forgot that he died, and I cried so hard when it happened. He's completely incredible, he sacrificed so much, and then, as soon as he is finally able to have a chance at happiness with his true love, he got eaten by a bunch of mutts. I think it was an incredible storytelling choice, it added depth... and I wish with all my heart that it hadn't happened. 

Personally I liked Katniss with Gale way better than Peeta, but I can see why she picked Peeta. And I REALLY REALLY wish that Finnick and Rue hadn't died, but I get that Rue pretty much had to die for the story to happen. 

I hated Rue's death... not so much Finnick though for some reason, I don't know why. She was so innocent...

As for Gale vs. Peeta I was originally rooting for Gale, but I can understand why she went with Peeta. I just thought it was really OOC for Gale to just move away and never see Katniss again. Like, they were best friends for life and Gale had a nickname for her and everything and he was also supposedley in love with her and then he just up and left her forever? That just didn't make any sense to me.

The Hunger Games ending for me was a bit sudden and abrupt, but not bad, overall. I love this series :) 

I don't like Katniss x Peeta or Katniss x Gale, but I think Katniss x Gale is worse tbh. I kind of wish that we didn't know whether they got married or not. 

Yeah, I did not like the third book. A ton of the characters died, but not from the Hunger Games, and it started just feeling stupid and pointless, so I wouldn't be sad but instead confused when a character died. 

Saffron -- What do you mean, "pawum?" Are you confused by a paw? Do you mean to say "Panum?" because that is actually pretty close. 

I was fine (ish) with Rue dying, but Prim and Finnick was honestly too much. And I think that Katniss would actually be better on her own, but if Prim was still alive she might've married Gale or Peeta?!

When Prim died I actually thought the author was playing a trick on us. It was horrible.

I liked Katniss x Peeta better from the start, and ultimately I think their relationship is a better one than Katniss x Gale.

Rue's death was expected, but she was one of my favorite characters- kind, quiet, and innocent, but resourceful and skilled. It made me so sad. :(

How many of you have read Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes? I really enjoyed it. Sejanus was my favorite character. 

I liked Prim dying.
