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.

i’m a bit late to the party, i never read this one as a child, but i’m really glad i picked it up.
very addictive story. reeled me in and kept me there from the second i started reading. highly recommend. 

i can’t help but wonder what the series would’ve been like if it had purely been about katniss and not had the romance / love triangle aspect in it. granted, every dystopian series on the market then had the token triangle, but it would’ve been nice to see that.

Truly one of the greatest things i’ve ever read. It’s a complex and compelling story that urges the reader to open their mind to the nuances of the world we live in. Panem may be a dystopian future- but it is all too real. 

Not to mention every character is lovable in their own way, and Katniss as a protagonist is one of the greatest I've ever seen. This book is considered a classic of young adult fiction, and it still holds strong to this day.

✨5/5✨

First solid five of the year for me! It's simply a book that I couldn't put down once I started reading, had to force myself away a few times because of things and all. But it's definitely one its way to becoming one of my favorite series—we'll see!
