The difference between how Finnick and Genya are treated. The Capitol members who later helped in the rebellion weren't blamed for not protecting him.
Might be because Collins is more mature writer in other aspects too.
I'm not exactly a fan of THG, I've read it years ago, and let's say it didn't spark joy as much as in others, but I'll never deny SC managed to tackle rather heavy topics in pretty spectacular way.
Revolution, war, unwitting cruelty of the privileged, (in)humanity of leaders, PTSD, unwanted spotlight, loss of loved ones...
It's been years and I've never particularly liked any of the characters, but if I remember correctly, Finnick's situation was handled with empathy AND realism.
I guess it also depends on the author's goals and objectivity of their editor...
