5.0

This book never fails to be incredible. I adore the poignant commentary on the terrors of authoritarian government, and i loved this book just as much as an adult as i did when i read it when i was younger. some things hit harder as an adult when you aren’t near their ages, and the fact they are literal children just doing their best is even more heartbreaking. 
Also it is such a good audiobook telling!

STARS:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
SPICE LEVEL: (Non-Existent to 🌶).
TAGS:  DYSTOPIAN, YOUNG ADULT, FICTION, SCIENCE FICTION, TEEN
MOOD: ADVENTUROUS, TENSE, DARK, EMOTIONAL
STORY: Gripping adventure with a strong and complex heroine, exploring themes of survival, rebellion, and the human cost of war, with a dash of romance
FAVORITE QUOTE: "May the Odds Ever Be In Your Favor".

MY THOUGHTS:
I frequently ponder Suzanne Collins' mindset and the creative process behind envisioning a story set in a world where children are compelled to battle each other to the death. 

It makes me reflect on my own moral judgment, considering how much I enjoyed every moment of reading it. Given the current state of society, I sometimes wonder if such a scenario may not be so far-fetched.  

I devoured this book quickly and found it consistently engaging. I eagerly anticipated picking up the rest of the series to keep reading.
