the REAL story of what happened to Katniss at the end of Mockingjay

THANK YOU. So many people read the books and act like Katniss suddenly became “weak” or something. Babes she is a CHILD who went through 2 death matches and a civil war… in like 2 YEARS. She is BROKEN. It was genuinely so cathartic finally having a character shown to be traumatized. She was well and truly shellshocked and ready to end it all after she did what she had to do with killing Coin. Like she fully thought her punishment would be death and torture and she didn’t care as long as justice got served for Prim. Katniss was really ride or die for Prim. It’s telling that part of what snaps Katniss out of her catatonic state is Peeta planting _primroses_

I haven't read books beyond the first Hunger Games, so this is very informative! Makes me want to read the rest to see what else the movies left out.

Highly recommend reading the whole series! The books are SO much better in my opinion

Not to take up too much for the mom, but Katniss had already demonstrated that Katniss would not accept help from her mother because her mother had not taken care of the kids while grieving the death of her husband. But Katniss had showed respect for her mother's medical healing abilities and clearly the mother found solace in healing others. I'm thinking the healing phone calls between the mother and daughter would have continued and when Katniss and Peeta have children and District 12 is totally reinvented that her mother would have visited on occasion.
