I liked this book!
Was I absolutely blown away by it? No, but it was an enjoyable read that gave a lot of insight into the social and political context that eventually lead to the world of THG as we know it in Katniss’ story.
All the nods to that later timeline were really fun, and despite knowing where the story would ultimately land, it didn’t really predictable at all.
I think it also gives you the opportunity to be reflexive in your assumptions and world views, but equally if you just want to enjoy reading this book you can.
On the whole a solid book that definitely exceeded the expectations I had for it
