You have not, though that's another one I've seen recced around a lot of places - I will probably end up reading it at some point!
Yeah, I expect you're right, though I hope the love triangle does not take up too much of the focus (less love angst, more revolutions!) That is not really the kind of likeableness (likeability?) I mean, though - I think the thing is, given the setup, I sort of expected either her or Peeta to have to actually kill somebody sympathetic in cold blood to win, which the narrative cunningly avoided having them do! It seemd a little too easy that all the sympathetic people got killed off by other people first, so they never really had to face that ethical choice.
