dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

I really enjoyed this book, despite basically hating Coriolanus. Every time you think he’s going to do something selflessly, he either talks himself out of it, or you see the selfish reason why he actually does it. 

It was so interesting to see how janky the Hunger Games started out, knowing how it would eventually turn out. 

Lucyyyy. Ugh I want more Lucy. Even though you KNOW it can’t end well, I wanted them to just find a way to be happy anyway.
