Suzanne Collins plays the love triangle so well and is able to make problems so deep, that they seem unfixable. However, Katniss is always able to pull thorugh them, but she fails in one: herself. Up until the last chapter, this book trilogy, in my opinion, would be equal to the Harry Potter series. If only Collins could've explained more about katniss and Peeta's relationship, their children, life without a Captitol, Gale's future, Haymitch's future and katniss's depression, the book could've been better. We are left with only our assumptions and no proof of a "happy ever after". However, what is Katniss's role in the story? She is the mockingjay: the epic hero. Hero's like Odysseus and Achilles both have a resolved ending: glory. We do not get that satisfaction with Katniss. She is human and realistically, if any other human would become as depressed and detached as Katniss and had experienced the same tradgedies and grown up in the same atmosphere she had, we would end up like her. But once again, we yearn for Katniss to pull through her troubles and go back to the girl we met prior to the Quarter Quell Hunger Games. I think the series deserves a bit more than the way it ended and for that to happen, Katniss needs to become the hero that we want her to be and questions need to be answered. Because these things don't happen, this book is mediocre compared to the unforgetable original Hunger Games.
