I mean, it's the hunger games, it's about kids killing kids and the capitol profiting of the exploitation of the districts.

Getting through my first reread of the series since I read them years ago. So much I had forgotten, and just like the first novel, so so so easy to read, the pages turned themselves. 

Suzanne Collins is a master with her words, and I pray to the gods I don’t believe in that she releases a new work separate from this world of Panem. Not that I am sick of the Hunger Games, but just to be able to read more of her writing. 

One aspect that did grate on me a little was the way Katniss’ obliviousness and staunchness was conveyed. Not that these are bad flaws to give a protagonist, but that I wish it was written out more as an unreliable narration and not dramatic irony. In my opinion the reader could too easily see through Katniss’ flawed assessment of many moments. It was done SO WELL when the wire snapped and Katniss was genuinely confused about Joanna and the situation at large.
