I watched the first movie a while ago so I already knew how the story would go, but I wanted to read it to dip my toes into dystopian and especially because the recently published prequel has taken the world by storm.

I enjoyed the story and I’m intrigued to carry on reading the series because I want to learn more about the districts, the Capitol and Panem.

I like Katniss as a character, she reminds me of my older sister who would volunteer for me and is as resilient as her.

Peeta is such a sweetheart but I feel bad because Katniss isn’t in love with him. But I’m intrigued to see how far they have to keep up this “relationship”.

The games themselves were enjoyable to read and kept me engaged because I couldn’t wait to see what happens next.

I’m definitely reading Catching Fire next!
