You can love something and still acknowledge its flaws, it's completely fine! :) I have my share of things that I love, but that I know are flawed. Doesn't make us any less of fans!
I think I even read that she had intended it to only be a one shot book. I read this somewhere too. I think I read her reason to keep on going was that "she couldn't leave the series like that, given Katniss's choice and how it was going to affect the world", or something of the sort. But who knows for sure, maybe she felt obliged to continue the series, or maybe she felt pressured into it? I read she was definitely pressured into putting more love triangle stuff in her books.
The Second to me seems rushed beyond belief, it could of been so much better imo had the games and the pre games been more drawn out. Agreed. I quite enjoyed the second one, it was very entertaining... but I was definitely more interested in what happened outside of the games. I was a bit mad at the author that she had basically rehashed the idea from the first book.
The third seemed like it would never end and was just trying to wrap things up without knowing what the plan to wrap things up was. And killing people just for the sake of killing. Agreed on this as well. I, too, felt like she didn't know what to do now that the games were not part of the book. I dreaded reading it, it was boring and I hated reading from Katniss's POV (because 1) I grew to really dislike her and 2) she spent half the time in the book being unconscious/on drugs and not being there where the interesting stuff was happening). Also hated all the pointless deaths.
Plus the final book turned how she was such a strong character into a broken shell and I really did not like that Yeah, agreed. I really feel like Katniss's character took steps backwards instead of forward. I wasn't much of a fan of her to start with, but even I noticed this and was not pleased with it.
