Solid historic backstory and circumstances influencing the creation of the hunger games and Mr. Snow we know were.
Overall themes is definitely more toxic friend-/relationships and the romance.
The actual hunger games were quite short and POV is Mr. Snow.
A lot of relationships are not really fleshed out and I would have loved seeing more details here and a less "sudden" development of certain relationships.
Would recommened for fans who want to spend more time/revisit this setting. But it was not a pageturner.
The german audio book was well done!

The idea of the book was interesting, but I would have loved to read more about the game itself. I liked that the book showed more of the “behind the scenes” of the game but still I would have wanted more of the game. Especially the ending of the game just fell flat.
I really didn’t like how Snow was complaining about being poor, having to eat cabbage soup etc when he lived in a nice house in the Capitol. And simultaneously his tribute was from a really poor district.
This book felt like a cash grab, haven’t seen the movie so I don’t know whether it’s better or worse. I would have loved to read a book about Haymitch and his time in the game, or Finnick instead.
