Oh, yeah, finished The Hunger Games two days ago. I <3 this book so damn hard. I'm almost afraid to read the next two, because I'm afraid one of my favorite characters will go by way of character assassination, so that the author can push on us an unsatisfactory, unbelievable romance.
As much as I like the Katniss/Peeta pairing, I could totally get into some femslash for this book. Because Katniss/Madge (what little interaction there was - BUT! it was totally significant) and Katniss/Rue are/would have been amazing and more believable than Katniss/Peeta or even Katniss/Gale.
With regards to Katniss/Peeta, though, I really really enjoy how calculating and heartless Katniss is when thinking it's all for the game. The romantic side of me wants to believe that she's in denial of whatever feelings she may have buried deep inside. The sadistic side wants to believe that she really is as calculating and heartless as she reasons herself to be, and that Peeta is a helpless fool irrevocably doomed to love Katniss no matter how hard she stomps on his heart. Bad romance, indeed.
More thoughts later.
Dystopian BDSM slash now.
