Can’t believe I hadn’t read this sooner. I will definitely be continuing the series. Great plot and great characters.

This book still slaps and it’s more relevant than it ever was. Tatiana Maslany is a phenomenal narrator. Big thank you to Suzanne Collins for putting all the audiobooks on Spotify for free.

Kids go into an arena and fight to the death. Lots of gore, violence, and child death.

4.0

 reading this again after probably a decade is such an odd experience... i would 100% agree that it holds up after all these years and arguably has gotten more poignant with age


one note: i think katniss is genuinely in love with peeta by the end, but is too emotionally constipated from childhood trauma to be able to recognize that or admit it to herself. the moment peeta realizes and she tries to say it wasn't all pretend feels very heath ledger in "10 things i hate about you" and her inability to untangle that web or real-or-pretend she created in the arena feels so heartbreaking when you remember the fact that, at the end of everything, katniss is a child.
