This book BLEW ME AWAYYY!!!
From the romance, to the characters, to the world building, to the writing, to the tension and the pacing, everything was perfection! I was so invested that I could hardly wait to finish reading it. I fell in love with both Katniss and Peeta and can’t wait to keep reading their story.
I never read The Hunger Games as a teenager and honestly, I’m glad I waited. I feel that I could truly appreciate this book as an adult. Especially while watching what is happening in places like Gaza or the Congo, where horrifying violence and genocide is being recorded and shared first hand, a dystopian story like The Hunger Games feels more relevant and applicable to our reality than ever.
