On a reread I was really noticing how incredible the pacing is. I knew there were plot beats that had to be hit and I was impressed by how economical and seem less it felt. I will say part of the ending has always felt a bit hard to follow but maybe I wasn’t paying enough attention on my commute. Once again, this book holds up.

As someone who only watched the movies I loved the book. The characters more fleshed out, Katniss more unreliable narrator. Peeta being undeniably good. The story had such a flow that I couldn't stop reading. The deaths in the book hit harder than any movie could which makes me feel nervous for Mockingjay.
