i mean

yes, i guess my analysis of a book about a teenaged girl of color who is exploited into a system of sensationalized violence pitting children of color/extremely impoverished white children against each other by the ultraconservative government (which orchestrated her poverty to make her and others like her more easily exploitable as both labor and raw material) and which she survives in part because two white men work together/simultaneously to sexualize her to make her otherness seem desirable [fetishized] to the detached upperclass (who, incidentally, literally make sex slaves of other survivors in her position) -- men who are positioned in the narrative itself as Good Guys because they don’t realize that they are complicit in katniss’ dehumanization, natch -- is kinda leaning towards sjw-ish

And two, IDK if you’ve watched the film, but Great Expectations by Alfonso Cuarón, has a scene at the beginning of a little kid who loves to draw playing over the water and the ocean, and it made me think a LOT about your 5 Places Cinna fic, so thought I’d let you know. 

I always wondered if she was rushed on the third book? It felt less...well structured. A lot of character development happened off screen (my biggest pet peeve).

I always thought the change in structure was due to them leaving the structured, artificial world of the Games and just being in the reality of the revolution.

I feel like I'd buy that if it had been executed better, but the way it stands it's just clunky. Nothing else devolved in the text enough for me to feel like it was an intentional choice that way. Maybe it's just that SC isn't the strongest writer and couldn't pull that off? But I've considered that and if anything, the D13 base is even more structured (as a way of living) than Katniss has ever had before, so it should have had some kind of format take its place, OR devolved MORE into showing the scattered mental state/etc. But like... it just kinda. Slops over onto itself.
