This made my heart hurt for some reason. Perhaps it's because you've captured the characters exactly as I see them. What people fail to grasp is that Katniss was NEVER your typical do-gooder, noble, selfless hero. No. You understand that and I appreciate that so much. And your comments about everyone else are spot on esp. about K ---> becoming Mrs.E. And I have to chime in with the Johanna love, honestly, she was just such a bloody brilliant character, I loved her. Madge was an unhappy point for me in MJ, but I do truly believe that she was aware of the rebellion - it also said she used to sneak newspapers from her Dad from the Capitol.
Thanks for all the praise, I really appreciate it :) <3
THG makes my heart hurt, too. It's one of those things that I love about it. Suzanne Collins knows how to make heavy hitting emotional blows and she is not afraid to do it. The realistic way she portrays the pain of loss has such an emotional resonance with me.
Right, I knew I was forgetting something about Madge, I just could not for the life of me remember what it was. That was a big part of the reason why I expected her to be in District 13 when they got there, I just thought she was going to be more of a major figure in the rebellion than she turned out to be.
Madge was my only big issue with MJ. I really wanted her to be something. And I always saw her so-called innocence about the mockingjay an act, because she was almost TOO oblivious. I mean, can you imagine K's reaction if Madge said "oh, yeah, totally get the significance, that's why I gave it to you." Madge didn't want Katniss to hate her. Also, NO BODY. ;)
Yeah, me too. I was most bummed about that... I mean, I pretty much accepted that not a lot of the characters were going to make it, but I just wish she'd at least made it TO District 13 before kicking it. I'm pretty sure they did find the right number of bodies in the Undersees' house, although I suppose it's possibly that it wasn't actually Madge.

I have a lot of theories about her which I will spare you for now but will almost certainly turn up in fics of the future.
I SHALL BE WAITING EAGERLY FOR THESE. <3

They're in progress right now! I'm working on a bunch of pre-series drabbles.
