This book still slaps and it’s more relevant than it ever was. Tatiana Maslany is a phenomenal narrator. Big thank you to Suzanne Collins for putting all the audiobooks on Spotify for free.

Kids go into an arena and fight to the death. Lots of gore, violence, and child death.

As about my third/fourth reread, this book never disappoints. Whoever saw just the movies doesn't know half the story... The way Katniss thinks and communicates with Haymitch, how the bonds get forged, what consequences come out of every sound of that canon and the aftermath of it all.
