Peeta is my favorite character, but I was bothered by his lack of concern for his family. Sure, his mother abused him, and his brothers didn't try to volunteer to take his place when he was selected for the Games. But they just seemed to drop out of existence, and that always kept him from feeling like a fully-fleshed out character for me. I was especially surprised that we never saw anymore of his father; I would have liked to see at least him a bit more involved in his son's life in Catching Fire.

At least Peeta seemed kinda pissed about his family being dead in Mockingjay, but that seemed more like he only cared because he didn't love Katniss anymore. I wanted to see him more upset about that. I mean, without his family, and without Katniss, who else did he really have left?

I guess the problem with that is the story is told through Katniss's point of view, so we never got to see any of the time he spent with his family in Catching Fire or what he went through while recovering in Mockingjay... But for crying out loud, we got to know Gale's family more than Peeta's, and Peeta was the more important character. :/

I agree completely. I can see him kind of not caring too much about his mother and siblings, but his father seemed to be a pretty nice guy.

In the same vein, (sorry if not entirely on topic) wtf happened to Madge? She seemed to be kind of important (not to mention that she was the one to give Katniss the Mockingjay pin) and then... she vanished?! Where was she in Mockingjay?

Madge and her family died in the bombings at the end of Catching Fire.

Right, I guess I kind of wanted to forget this. It's just quite frustrating. I think that she had a lot of potential, even though it's of course realistic that not all friends would conveniently survive the bombings.

I'm kind of on the fence about this as well.

Madge was a good character and while I wasn't as interested in her as other characters (like Johana) I would have liked to have seen more of her and her friendship with Katniss. On the other hand, the author did her best to make the war as realistic as possible, so there had to been some named characters who would have to die.
