2 Quotes from wikipedia

Katniss has received mainly positive reviews. Stephen King says in a review for The Hunger Games "our heroine is Katniss Everdeen (lame name, cool kid)" before adding, "once I got over [her] name...I got to like her a lot." Francisca Goldsmith said, "Although Katniss may be skilled with a bow and arrow and adept at analyzing her opponents’ next moves, she has much to learn about personal sentiments, especially her own." Publishers Weekly says that, "It's a credit to Collins's skill at characterization that Katniss, like a new Theseus, is cold, calculating and still likable." The Cleveland Plain Dealer stated in a review for Catching Fire that "Katniss in a pensive mood seems out of step with the kick-butt assassin," before adding that her loyalty and kindheartedness were enjoyed. John Green of the New York Times called Katniss a "memorably complex and fascinating heroine". Katie Roiphe, also of The New York Times, said that Katniss in Mockingjay was "a great character without being exactly likable. [She] is bossy, moody, bratty, demanding, prickly", and commented that this is what makes many recent literature heroines likable. Entertainment Weekly compared Katniss to Bella Swan from the Twilight Saga and said that "unlike Twilight's passive, angsty Bella, Katniss is a self-possessed young woman who demonstrates equal parts compassion and fearlessness".

Entertainment Weekly said that Peeta, as well as Gale Hawthorne, were "thinly imagined".
