Reading Mockingjay as an adult is extra devastating because. Of course the plucky teenager and her ragtag friends aren't going to sneak into a government building to kill the president with a bow and arrow. That's absolutely ridiculous. It's the kind of thing that's only possible in the kind of propaganda that Coin developed. But she's so good at it that in some ways she tricks the reader into thinking that's the kind of story this is, too--even after 3 books reminding us that pretty much everything that Katniss does the second she volunteers is manipulated by adults pulling strings to make propaganda in some form or another.

James: What’s the matter?
Regulus: (aggressively) My brother.
James: What about him?
Regulus: He’s over there being gross and kissing Remus.
James: And this is bad because…
Regulus: Because if I tell him to stop then he’ll call me a hypocrite and tell me to get off of you.
James: Ah, and we can’t have that.
Regulus: (snuggling closer) No, we can’t.
