5.0

Well that was a rollercoaster! To begin with, I found it quite slow going, and although it was decently written, I wasn’t hugely into it. But as soon as the training and the games began, I was hooked! The description of everything that happened was so vividly written that I could imagine everything clearly in my mind, and I was truly invested in certain characters. 

Katniss however is a truly annoying character!! I can’t deny she’s brilliant at what she does, but also she’s so stupid sometimes! Particularly when it comes to Peeta.
Peeta seems the most lovely, genuinely caring and sweet guy, and she continues to mistrust him - regardless of everything he’s done for her. And there are times when you can see that she is falling for him too, but she doesn’t realise it, and still thinks it’s all an act… you just want to scream at her!


However, despite that, it was a brilliant read, and I would definitely recommend it! I can’t wait to read the next ones!!
