This is the third time that I read this book. The first two times were when it was released and now, ten(-ish) years later. I felt exactly the same and that was my favorite part about rereading this story.

Katniss is an amazing main character: a very strong female role model, selfless, sensitive... even her naiveness is very relatable. She was forced to grow fast and had a very hard life - losing her father and with a mother destroyed by grief she was the only one who could provide for her sister and from that point on Prim is the only reason why she wants to live.

I love this book because shows that love can be the force that changes lives, even in the most complete chaos and brutality the ones we love can make a difference between giving up and fight a little longer.

I haven't read these in a while but I still think that these are amazing books. Katniss is a great character and it's direct and straightforward writing and won't spend a chapter over random trivia on a battle that happened like years ago (*cough* les mis *cough*), which makes it an easy read. I love the universe and characters! (Also I'm rereading this so when the prequel comes out I will remember everything that happens...but isn't the prequel about President Snow idk)
