Rereading this series to read the newest book (2020) only to announce they’re adding a fourth in 2025! I forget how much i enjoyed this series as a kid, and it still holds up today. I still critique the use of the love triangle, but i understand why it’s included. Overall still a great, enjoyable read.

I remember reading this series as the movies were coming out and i absolutely loved it. coming back to it now as a fan of the dark and gritty dystopian novels, i’ve fallen in love with it once again.

i’m a bit late to the party, i never read this one as a child, but i’m really glad i picked it up.
very addictive story. reeled me in and kept me there from the second i started reading. highly recommend. 

i can’t help but wonder what the series would’ve been like if it had purely been about katniss and not had the romance / love triangle aspect in it. granted, every dystopian series on the market then had the token triangle, but it would’ve been nice to see that.
