Re: Bookworms: what are you reading/listening to now?
Well Darth my lady would totally agree with you about Peter and gale, particularly because she was always! a fan of Peter and got royally annoyed at Catness for hovering between the two, and only finally! seeing the truth at the end.
It wasn't so much about Gale killing Prim though, it was more Gale's attitude, since Gale was quite prepared to go in for mass destruction, and it was exactly that sort of calous thinking that got Catness sister killed, which finally! clued her in to the fact that Peter was actually a nice guy, ---- something which my lady was cursing her for not! getting all the way through the trilogy .
Actually, the Ptsd Catness experiences is pretty accurate. it doesn't mean multiple personalities, just occasionally feeling or experiencing things from the past without warning, actually it was the fact that the books finally ended with Catness as definitely scarred that was for me a pluss.
I thought though that it was pretty obvious why she killed Coin and had nothing to do with instability, basically it was the fact that Coin was clearly going down the same power hungry path as Snow had already done, and when its suggested to start a new hunger games with the capital's people as participants Catness saw enough was enough, after all Catness had been used as a symbol, both for the revolution generally and for Coin's rise to power.
I actually liked Catness as a character myself, and the fact that Colins didn't go down the path of least resistance with that sort of plot and break out that hory old cliche "sometimes you must kill to survive!" but started from the other way up and began! with someone who was quite prepared to kill to survive and then only showed what it her as time went on.
While I did have problems with the series, they were mainly to do with the way the plot was constructed with the second and third books devolving more into interconnected scenes without as much progression between them and a lot of excuses for action as opposed to the very strong direction of the first book, but character, and especially Catness was something I thought Colins did well.
