5.0

My only complaint is that I felt upset after reading this, but that’s a sign of how good it is. Katniss doesn’t have a traditional character arc, but she does feel like a real teenager reacting to (and being traumatized by) the horrible things happening to her. I also loved the simple/clear style of prose that made it very easy to read.
