The third book, I think, is relevant to all those people who automatically assumed that everything would be great in the Middle East after the Arab Spring. Certainly another theme is how superficial rich societies can be.

It did, yes. But the first one was about empowerment.

The second one was about empowerment.

The third one was about Team Peeta vs Team Gale.

If you look at the publication times of the books and compare them to the theatrical release dates of the twilight movies, you'll see precisely what happened when the editor got ahold of the third story.

I just would have liked the third book to mesh more with the story being built in the first two, that's all.
