I watched the movies before I read these books so the story provided more details and answered some questions I had. Symbolism is a powerful tool in this story utilized well alongside strong character development abd captivating dystopian romance. Katniss’ emotional complexity is interesting to see unravel.

This is my re-read review. I read the series in print initially in 2011/2012 as a high schooler. This re-visit was through audiobook, which was such an enjoyable way to re-experience these books. Over a decade later and they still hold up. Re-reading this book and the rest of the series got me back into reading. They reminded me of the power books hold to bring us hope and courage when our own world feels dystopian. Katniss will always be one of my favorite strong FMCs.
