Suzanne Collins is a marvel and I loved how she added to the already amazing world building of the Hunger Games in this story. I know this isn't possible, but at this point I'd read a book about each game if she's the one writing it. I think my biggest takeaway is that feels rare to read a YA series that respects its readers in the way that this series does; I love that it doesn't feel as though your hand is ever being held for too long.
Also Lucy Gray I will think of you for the rest of my living days <3

Solid historic backstory and circumstances influencing the creation of the hunger games and Mr. Snow we know were.
Overall themes is definitely more toxic friend-/relationships and the romance.
The actual hunger games were quite short and POV is Mr. Snow.
A lot of relationships are not really fleshed out and I would have loved seeing more details here and a less "sudden" development of certain relationships.
Would recommened for fans who want to spend more time/revisit this setting. But it was not a pageturner.
The german audio book was well done!

It didn’t disappoint.
It feels weird to read Coriolanus’ thoughts. I usually empathise with the main character but I knew he was going to be evil, I know he was going to become President Snow.
I liked all the references to the trilogy and it was interesting to see how the games became the way we know them.
I guess some bits are a bit slow but overall I enjoyed it!
