I love Katniss too, but she seems to be a difficult character for most people to get into the headspace of. Practically everyone on my flist who's written about the books has described her differently. Usually people can agree on basic personality traits, but I've seen her described in such a wide gamut of ways. And I'm still surprised at the person who argued in the FD post last year that she was asexual.
The books are very action-y. I would say that her feelings are as much of a plot point in the later two books as they are in the first one and not really more than, and even than, as always, it's more about how her relationships play into the Game and the situation of the world she lives in as it is about romance.
