I realized she had no scope of a revolution, no real hard concept of what her world was like. She'd thought up 13 districts and a capitol, and that was it. Beyond that, it was fluff.

Contrast to Brandon Sanderson, who told his class (which I was fortunate enough to take) that he spends months building his worlds. While I think Brandon Sanderson is one extreme, Collins is the opposite and it was so transparent that I couldn't take her revolution seriously. And unfortunately, book 2 and 3 were about the revolution.
