3.0
Not a special bad or good book.
Solid historic backstory and circumstances influencing the creation of the hunger games and Mr. Snow we know were.
Overall themes is definitely more toxic friend-/relationships and the romance.
The actual hunger games were quite short and POV is Mr. Snow.
A lot of relationships are not really fleshed out and I would have loved seeing more details here and a less "sudden" development of certain relationships.
Would recommened for fans who want to spend more time/revisit this setting. But it was not a pageturner.
The german audio book was well done!
