I’m going to update this later. This is the first book I’ve ever fully reread and the most influential from my teenage years. It has not only withstood the test of time, but is more relevant and poignant than ever. It would detract from its power to compare it to CF or Mckjay because this is rebellious on all on its own. If it had been stand alone—not a trilogy- its subtle notes of dissent would be revolutionary still.

Rue. Clove. Foxface. Thresh. Oh my god this book!!!! I love movies a lot but books nearly always just have this little bit more, and I feel like this was the perfect example. Although I loved the movies and the cast, it was just the extra detail, and Katniss' POV that made me love it that bit more. Katniss' thoughts on Peeta, the way she was so sure he was just pretending to be nice to her was just something that I really liked. I knew everything that was going to happen and yet i still cried for Rue. That scene is so heartbreaking and so sweet at the same time it was crazy. I loved the way it went into more detail about Haymitch's Alcoholism, and how bad it really was, I love the inclusion of Madge, and the mockingjay pin (Maysilee's Mockingjay Pin 🤭🤭) I loved this book so much. The way it broke me and put me back together. The tropes. The fact that it wasn't all fix-it and the fact that it really shows that even the careers, who murdered in cold blood and joked about it, were still just kids. 5 stars.
