I love this book, I love getting to hear Katniss’ thoughts and motivations behind her actions. She comes across as uncaring and indifferent to others but she has complex feelings and is a great character. The history of the world was easy to understand, the story wasn’t drawn out and the writing style makes it easy to read quickly.
