I would like a Peeta novel like his perspective of everything and his childhood, but she's busy with the new novel rn, so if anything, it would be out in like 4 years or something.
id say that it dosent take susane that long in the future to make another novel but it depends if she wants to make another if she says she wants to make another right before she releases "Sun Rise On The Reaping" and anounces it and starts making it she chould relase the boss by the time the hunger games sunrise on the reaping movie comes out
I just genuinely don't see how a Peeta sequel novel could be anything but totally boring. I think it's best we don't get specifics of their perfect little life post games. Unless the system collapses and another war happens, I'd rather imagine their life together than like just see them eat dinner as a family and play in the meadow. Maybe a short story but definitely not a novel. I am biased tho, I've never been particularly invested in Peeta. Great guy, right choice for Katniss, but just doesn't do much for me. As for their rewards for being victors, I reckon that both of them choose not to receive any sort of pension out of principle, but maybe some others like Johanna or Enobaria do. Instead the new regime implements more systematic reparations to entire communities (food shipments, medical aide and such) and Katniss and Peeta just benefit from that. They probably also eventually tore down the victor's villages and live in a normal house they built themselves. I think overall a Finnick novel is more likely and personally I'd prefer it. Not (just) to see his games, but moreso insight into Snow's regime.
I like your points. I would prefer to not invade on Katniss and Peeta's lives after the war simply because I think that's what Suzanne Collins intended when writing the epilogue. I like to think they 'lived happily ever after' and were able to healthily cope with their trauma over time. With a Finnick novel I think that would allow us more knowledge as well with how the Capitol convinced the districts associated directly next to the water to not escape via stealing a boat
A peeta novel would be great but I doubt it would happen. The only way where I think that we would get a Peeta novel is if Suzanne writes a sequel to mockingjay like where Katniss and Peeta have children. I just feel like Katniss and Peeta’s story is finished and if Suzanne is going to expand the hunger games series she would probably write more prequels about different characters and their story. There’s so many ideas for more prequel books that are more likely, like a lot of people want Finnick’s and Joanna’s games but I feel like we would see a book about the dark days or a book about the first quarter quell, but in the end I guess anything could be possible.
i disagree that by asking for more hunger games content that we are parallel to the capitol; like i get why people think that but the books/movies have so much more than the games. it has symbolism and commentary on current events (mostly in the united states but could also be applied to many places at the moment). i want more books not because i want to see the tributes kill each other. i want more books to expand on the rise and fall of panem as a whole. it also makes me think when people say this that they are misunderstanding the themes of the books.
Oh definitely, I think asking for more books isn't inherently making us parallel the Capitol, rather wanting more world building for a beloved story, but if we ask for too much and Suzanne Collins over saturates the franchise maybe then we're the Capitol
I think as far as Peeta or katniss goes we will only have subtle nods or Easter eggs. I would love to see more glimpses of peeta and katniss’s parents in the new novel. As well as her moms connection to Madge’s aunt
also think suzanne would KILL some novellas, maybe those could be the stories of past victors if she wants to go that route, or following tigris, or even following one of coriolanus's former classmates (a clemmie novella would complete my life)
As much as I think a novella would be good I get the feeling Suzanne Collins can't keep stories short. The only reason I think that is because of the sheer length of TBOSAS. The author just can't shut her writer 'world building' brain off by the looks of it, but we love her for that
