I never thought The Hunger Games would grab me this hard. But from page one, I was hooked. Collins delivers a thrilling and emotional story that balances high-stakes action with powerful moral dilemmas. Katniss shines as a strong, flawed heroine, and the world-building is sharp and immersive without being overbearing.

Peeta adds chaos and heart, and the whole story left me eager for more. Dark, tense, and unforgettable. This was a phenomenal start to the series, and I can’t wait to see where it goes.

Content Warnings

Graphic: Child death, Violence, Murder

Moderate: War

Minor: Cursing, Alcohol

This book deals heavily with oppressive systems, survival against all odds, and moral choices in life-and-death situations. While intended for YA audiences, the darker elements of war and trauma are vividly present.
