Good has Nothing on Bad

She was what I had wanted in a character. Strength, subbornness, morals, selflessness. Katniss was giving me hope that there was more to YA novels than romance. Then, like a bad joke, it was ruined. She was suddenly the pawn in a love triangle, staging a government revolt, and eventually was responsible for repopulating the fallen Panem. What? I mean, there were good parts like Finnick but why do all adults think their 16 year old character has to save the damn world or fall in love? Were teenagers not suffocating in depression, having false crushes, coming to terms that everything is not a Disney movie, and switching schools in the Stone Age? It was that single book, that has inspired four movies and helped boost Jennifer Lawrence to B-List celebrity level, that inspired nine year old me to write and make YA novels mor young adult and less movie like. Of course there were books that were good that I liked. Dahl, Poe, the Brothers Grimm, the list goes on. But I still remember Katniss and aim to make novels more accurate thanks to her.
