3.0

Overall an okay read. When compared to the original trilogy this falls short, but it’s hard to make anything better than the original. Some of the reverse foreshadowing (don’t know what else to call it) was a bit heavy handed but I don’t blame Collins too much since media literacy seems to be at an all time low. Interesting to see how things developed from the 10th Hunger Games and to compare it to the 74th.

I enjoyed this book more than I was expecting. I looked forward to coming home and reading it everyday.
 I enjoyed hunger games so much I was happy to have another perspective in the world of Panem. 

The ending was a surprise to me - after getting over not knowing everything about the ending, I decided I enjoy a little mystery.
