she still very evidently has her limitations as a writer of prose and i still so desperately wish i could hand off the hunger games to any number of writers and say “write the exact same story but write it better.” but i can’t deny ms. collins was working on another level storywise with this one. worldbuilding is still strong, and the character work too.
can’t wait to get to mockingjay, which i recall being received as a letdown of a finale when it was released in my circle (of 14 year olds). i have a sneaking suspicion that mockingjay should have been two books (meaning in a roundabout way that two movies was actually correct…) but we’ll see!
