why am i sitting in the middle of nowhere
So. Yeah. Finished Mockingjay at midnight last night - and by the end of it, I was pretty much a sobbing wreck of a human.
It was pretty much perfect. I feel like a have a billion things to say about it, but can we talk about my favorite part?
It was the fact that Peeta got to the City Centre along with Katniss because - he would. Because he was a victor too - and he would have won the Games, if not for his need to keep her safe and alive.
I also cried like a little girl when Katniss started talking to him about himself. All those tiny little things you know about someone you love (tm arianaeh) just KILLED me. They were tiny, inconsequential things but they were so sweet and brilliant. 'And you always double knotted your shoelaces.'
Just thinking about it now is making me all verklempt.
And Gale? Holy Jesus. You knew he was mercenary, but good God. It made sense, you knew he was like that from the first conversation they have, but to see it in practice? And I loved the way Katniss reacted to it. Her knowing that he had a point, that she would have been like that, but she'd been in that arena. There was no way she could look at any death in a 'the losses are acceptable' kind-of-way.
Haymitch is still the man. That's really all there is to say about him.
I loved when she killed Coin.
Obviously, Finnick and Prim dying was hugely upsetting. It was totally awful, and absolutely predicable, that her mother just took off after Prim's death.
You knew she was dead, but getting confirmation that Madge had been killed in the initial bombing of 12 was terrible. I loved her, probably beyond reason.
Just. Yeah.
I just loved all of it. A lot.
And you totally know I've started a reread.
And despite everything that happens in Mockingjay, my reaction can still be pretty much summed up at OMGPEETA.
I am nothing if not predictable.
Also evidenced by my icon. *g*
