Corionalus? Coriolanus when I CATCH YOU CORIOLANUS????
Suzanne Collins is a marvel and I loved how she added to the already amazing world building of the Hunger Games in this story. I know this isn't possible, but at this point I'd read a book about each game if she's the one writing it. I think my biggest takeaway is that feels rare to read a YA series that respects its readers in the way that this series does; I love that it doesn't feel as though your hand is ever being held for too long.
Also Lucy Gray I will think of you for the rest of my living days <3
