4.0

This is one of those books where I wonder about the characters afterwards because I keep thinking about them. Because both this book and the last feature the main characters in the Hunger Games, the layout is kind of similar. I also noticed more in this book that Katniss plays right into the "not like other girls" trope, which is disappointing. I also felt like narrator choice for this book wasn't quite right. Katniss is a hunting, rough, scrappy character, and the narrator had an extremely proper style of speaking.
