4.5

it was actually my first time reading this and the series. i still felt the same dread and anxiety as i was reading this book. compared to the movies the characters here are described as much younger and it's so scary because they're just kids going through indescribable horror in the arena. i also noticed the differences between the book and the movie. and as much as i love the movie, i also love this book because it showed katniss' inner monologue. will read and try to finish the entire series.

Animal death content warning comes from how Katniss is a hunter in order to get food for her family. There are never any explicit descriptions, but it's frequent.

I mean, what else does there have to be said about a classic?? I read this so long ago and wanted to revisit after seeing the prequel movie. It was fun to revisit with more attention and a different perspective. Excited to journey through the series again!
