For the trigger warnings pf Slavery and Racism I have to point out

that althought it isn't completely explicit the representation of the agriculture district seemed like a very explicit portrayal of racism and slavery

This is like my third or fourth time reading the series…it still holds up. It’s still just as impactful like eight years. If you haven’t read it yet, oh my gods, this better be the next thing on your list 😤💖

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.
