This series is the seed of dystopian books.
I have watched the trilogy (movies) and they are a masterpiece. First time reading the books. And I loved everything about it. Probably easier for me to visualize the world because I watched the movies before.
And that ending… so angsty!! Spoiler ahead!!!
Never will I ever be a Gale apologist. And reading Katniss being conflicted with her feelings for both Gale and Peeta is confusing and kinda stressful.
