“Hope is the only thing stronger than fear.”

I ate it up but are we shocked? (no)
I love the world building a lot, it really feels like you're there.

Katniss literally just trying to survive but any acts outside the box is being seen as a rebellion but she literally doesn't fr want to is interesting. 

Katniss and Peeta both retaining disabilities from surviving the games is also interesting, alongside Haymitch's alcoholism, showing that no one survives the games completely unscathed.

Why did Peeta have so much rizz omg?

It was pretty good, but not an overall favorite. I wasn’t too fond of the whole

“the mutts are actually the dead tributes”

thing, but it does help convey the horrors and atrocities that the Capital and the game makers commit during the games.

Overall, it was well written and a pretty good read, especially if you’re in a reading slump.

Moderate: Death of parent and Grief

Minor: War and Mental illness

The reason I included mental illness is because of Katniss’ PTSD from the death of her father.

I remember reading this series as the movies were coming out and i absolutely loved it. coming back to it now as a fan of the dark and gritty dystopian novels, i’ve fallen in love with it once again.
