You know the thing I like most about Katniss choosing to take out Coin?

It's not that Katniss was deciding that Coin was worse than Snow, it's that she realized that Coin was going to be JUST as bad as Snow.

Snow wasn't the lesser monster. He's the man directly responsible for hundreds of dead children in the Games, the one who ordered killed the families of the kids that refused to be put into prostitution, not to mention responsible for the suffering and starvation of millions, and countless other atrocities besides.

But Snow had already been defeated, he was never going to survive that day. Katniss didn't make a choice between Snow and Coin.

The choice was whether she wanted to take personal revenge on all that Snow and the Capitol had done to her. Or if she wanted to make sure that there wouldn't ever again be another Rue, another Prim, another Katniss Everdeen.

Coin wasn't the bigger monster, what she was was the same evil in a new package. And where Snow had already been declawed, Coin was still a threat.
