Just finished Hunger Games... Question and spoiler
Ok... I finished Mockinjay and the ending I have to say I was skimming through the end bc I wanted to know what was going to happen and it was late last night then my DS was all over me.
What happened to Gale?
I'm glad she ended up with Peeta bc I felt their love more than I did with her and Gale.
I felt like it was rushed and they didn't explain gale too much and what happened to him. Why he left her, but she ended with Peeta and the two of them deserve each other.
Thanks!

Re: Just finished Hunger Games... Question and spoiler
Hmph, it's been awhile since I read these, so I'm a little fuzzy on it, but I think Gale was just lost to the revolution. I don't mean killed, I mean he changed as a person. He put the war before the people in the war and as a result, Prim died. I think Katniss blames him for that and at that point he just kinda left.

Thanks! That's exactly what I got too, but just seems weird how fast he was over her when supposedly he loved her for so many years. I wish she stayed with Peeta from the beginning. I knew he was better for her.
Wonder how the third movie will play out. So gruesome.

Yeah, I think the book says something about him getting some fancy job in another district.

He ends up in District 2- I believe he ends up with some "military-esque" job.

Re: Just finished Hunger Games... Question and spoiler
Thanks all. Maybe I was just dissapointed how much he's changed since from. The first book he was so in love with her and ready to fight Peeta till district 13.
I'm happy she ended with Peeta, but it's like she wasn't given a choice bc gale left her and put war first.

Re: Just finished Hunger Games... Question and spoiler
I saw it as he knew it was a lost cause with her. That she would never stop blaming him for Prim's death and moved on.
I'm interested to see how they translate this in the movie version. I'm really hoping they use the 2 films to fill in all the plot holes in MJ.

Re: Just finished Hunger Games... Question and spoiler
I just finished the trilogy tonite! So heartbreaking!!!!!!
Gale was already drifting from her way before the end, but stuck with her out of comraderie, as well as anger and desire to stay close to the revolution.
I found her ending up with peeta to not be a love story as much as a coming together in healing. I get a sense she is detached from everything, even the kids she wound up having with him.

Exactly. That's why I love this story. There really is no happy ending.
