After a decade, I finally read the full series. And wow yeah this was amazing. I get why everyone absolutely loved these books. They were amazing. The way all the characters were written just made you love them from the first word. I absolutely love this series.
However, I thought book one and two were better. Book three was good but it didn't fully hook me like the previous two. Mostly due to the pacing I think. The first half was quite slow and then the second half moved so fast and rapidly glossed over several quite big things that left me confused and wanting more elaboration at certain points and for certain moments.

for example finnick getting left behind and dying happened within the blink of an eye when I really thought he deserved as much on page time to die as Boggs who, in my opinion, is a less important and less prominent character. But I also actually felt like that about Prim dying. The transition from those bombs going off to Katniss being back to 13 was very jarring in a way that I didn't really register prim had even died at first. 

 
I still cried though.
Katniss is still aro ace in my mind. 
And this series was definitely worth the read even a decade too late.

Still good… all these years later. I’m still impressed by the writing and the story. The way Katniss

kills Coin just moves me in very specific way that few other things do.

I think this series is complex and challenging as a YA novel and it should be taught in schools. Not that we need more white stories taught in school but if we’re gonna teach white people books make it be this one. At the end of the audio book Suzanne Collins talks about how she came up with the idea for the hunger games while flipping back and fourth between reality TV and coverage of the Iraq war. And that is really interesting. She also tells young people to consider what the implications are that we have some people in the world who take their next meal for granted while others are scrounging to get by. And you know what Suzanne? I think about that a lot. And I get angry every time I think about it.

Really struggled to finish this. I was a huge fan of the first two in the series so I thought this was going to be good but I was wrong. Stupidly slow pace in the beginning but in the last 80ish pages everything started going so fast I couldn't keep up. Nothing was explained clearly enough, characters were dropping dead like flies and I had to watch the film to actually understand the ending! I still don't know who half of the characters are, I finished the book and was glad it was over with, took me three months though. Wouldn't recommend.
