I don't think that anything will live up to the first time that I read the hunger games, but I thoroughly enjoyed this and I think that it was a better entry for her series than Songbirds and Snakes.

Pride and Prejudice in Space by Alexis Lampley
Did not finish book. Stopped at 4%.

It is literally the exact script from Pride and Prejudice and occaisionally  they mention that they are in space. When I picked up the book I thought that it was going to have the loose Pride and Prejudice plot with character archetypes and some problem in space that they needed to solve, but no. It felt like a cut and paste job and not a very good one.
