I started reading these books mostly to get to Ballad because I am really interested in that story, but at the same time, I have enjoyed starting this journey and can't wait to continue to see Katniss and Peeta's story unfold.
Recently some YA books/characters have felt annoying to me, like badly written teenagers, but here Collins perfectly captures the experience that Katniss is going through. Her life, her biases and how she has to change both within the games and after them, without her ever realizing how much work all of this would entail, and at times, how much is truly happening to her.
Katniss thought that surviving in the games would be the hardest part, but in the end you learn alongside her that the hardest part will actually be *living after* them. And in the end, I feel like I never once forgot that she was a kid who had terrible things happen to her because her government chose to make an example of their people. Katniss is a kid who was forced to grow up too fast and Collins captures that in an incredible way.

Turns out, the hype was real. Hunger Games IS really, really good. It's a fast read with interesting world-building and a tense story. It's everything people used to say about it. Even though I knew
