Lol YOU DID predict everything!! You have no idea how my face looked liked when I read your first topic on the subject ^^. I was "ok we have Nostradamus here" (now you need to put your Sherlock brain onto Games of Thrones asap :p).
Anyway, I knew everything you disliked from book 2 was going to worsen while reading book 3. And I can't really come with anything substantial with everything you just said. Basically you are very right on all this. I still enjoyed the books nonetheless. I was expecting a lot less while reading it and tbh, once I got past the *eyerollingthisissobattleroyale* I was fine. I think the biggest thing is.... I got attached to the characters. That's all that took. I loved Katniss despite her flaws (and let's face it, they deepen and deepen through the books). I adored Peeta. I was ready to believe in Gale. I smiled when Prim was there etc.
It's not deep literature, but I felt the adrenaline while reading it and I liked the road the author took. I loved the breakdown scenes. I don't think Prim's death was necessary though. And, my biggest grief (now I can say it to you ^^) is the memory loss of Peeta. I bloody hate that kind of storyline/plot. I suspect the k-dramas have spoiled that "temporary losing my memory sorry" thing forever to me. It's way too easy. I only let it go because it was Peeta tbh. But I still cringe. You use that when you don't know what to do anymore (or that's how I see it).
