It's been so long since I read these books the first time that it was like reading them for the first time again. My chest hurts for Katniss and all the things she had to go through.

This book really struck me hard as an adult. I read this during the YA Dystopia craze of the early 2010s and I don’t think I grasped many of the concepts as I do now. The aspect of a 17-year old being the central figure in a war blows my mind now. Katniss and the people around her are forced to make so many difficult decisions to survive. She says something to the effect of feelings/ emotions need to be processed later and that struck me so deeply. She’s in an active war zone without any room or space to process that all of the people she loves and holds dearly are dying. Collins really wrote a YA classic and it holds up even almost 15 years later.
