Last chapter of Catching Fire, there was a lot of hypocrisy and then stuff finally caught on fire.
This chapter, more oppression! About time.
Last chapter of Catching Fire, there was a lot of hypocrisy and then stuff finally caught on fire.
This chapter, more oppression! About time.
Last chapter, to the surprise of no one sane, Katniss was told she didn’t do a good enough job at pacifying the districts by kissing her notboyfriend on stage.
Wherein the author figures we probably haven’t picked up on the Roman thing because it’s been too subtle:
Last time on Catching Fire, the oppressive evil government finally did something oppressive and evil and shot a guy.
Then there is much unnecessary subterfuge.
Last time on Catching Fire, Katniss found out she had to marry Peeta.
Wherein Katniss continues not to get that marriage and babies don’t have to go together:
Last time on Catching Fire, President Snow told Katniss her underage makeouts with Peeta had better be really convincing, or else the districts might rebel against the capital she hates so much! Realizing this wasn’t much of an incentive, he then explained he’d kill everyone she cares about if she doesn’t do a good job.
Last time on Catching Fire, there was the dramatic smell of blood and roses! Then, President Snow showed up to glare at Katniss.
Then, they talk.
So.
Catching Fire.
I was thinking I really need to take some time to let my hatred die down to a nice simmer (and my fingers recover from endless typing and copy-pasting), but I couldn’t resist seeing how the next book began with all these lovely comments about DON’T GO ON IT JUST GETS WORSE ESCAPE WHILE YOU CAN.
It’s not too bad.
Reports of its quality are greatly exaggerated.
At last, it’s the final chapter.
Last time on the childmurder games, the childmurder games concluded with a whimper.
And now the post-game shenanigans.
Anyway, on to the next chapter. Something’s chasing them.
Last time on the childmurder games, it was a lovely mix of boredom, squick, and terrible implications. Then finally the rain stopped and they accidentally killed another child.
Well, let’s finish this.
Let’s continue to the twenty-third chapter. In the home stretch now!
This is terrible.
It opens with Katniss covering the cave with rocks. She leaves a small opening, but it no longer looks like a cave.
