I’ve enjoyed rereading this series i enjoyed as a kid. Didn’t remember just how scary it gets, and how Collins can easily shock the reader (especially towards the end of chapters) A great read- super excited to read the newer entries, but am glad the newer additions revolve around different characters- giving Katniss a proper end.

Finally finished!! Took me awhile to read since I kept needing to take breaks to preserve my mental health - but an engaging read and wonderfully written. Suzanne Collins, you've done it again 👏
