3.0

Not a special bad or good book.
Solid historic backstory and circumstances influencing the  creation of the hunger games and Mr. Snow we know were.
Overall themes is definitely more toxic friend-/relationships and the romance.
The actual hunger games were quite short and POV is Mr. Snow. 
A lot of relationships are not really fleshed out and I would have loved seeing more details here and a less "sudden" development of certain relationships. 

Would recommened for fans who want to spend more time/revisit this setting. But it was not a pageturner.
The german audio book was well done!

I watched the movie version first and was happy to find out that it was quite faithful to the book. I gained a lot of insight by reading Coriolanus's thoughts and motivations. The plot became even more tragic and twisted by seeing the events through Coryo's perspective.

5.0

this was INSANE. the perfect way to begin the series. it literally sets up the latter books in the most beautiful way im in awe.

at first, i shipped lucy and snow SO HARD bc like obviously. but then i kept reading and i realized how they were so different and how power-hungry snow is that i knew it couldn’t work. and i’m glad it didnt. i dont think either of them deserve to be stuck with the other, despite how evil snow becomes. he’s good deep down, but whats engrained in him could never leave. i wish they had a better goodbye, but also i think it was the most clever way to end their story.

i cannot get over how they ended. what incredible revenge they had on each other. and i genuinely cannot get over how perfectly this sets up for the trilogy. 

it’s so eerie to know how in control the capitol is with every situation, but it makes for an even more satisfying end when it comes to the later trilogy. lucy sets up for katniss’s character perfectly. 

also, i know when i watch the movie im gonna ship them so hard bc tom blyth is so hot, but i still stand by what i said. 

✅ ONE HUNDRED PERCENT WILL BE REREADING THIS WAS INSANE

Suzanne Collins can really do no wrong in my eyes. Her world-building is top-tier. Even with this new addition to the original trilogy, the world of Panem—its history, rules, and values—remain consistent. With a number of beloved characters from the original series, she could have chosen anyone for which to write a story. However, Snow seemed like the most appropriate choice. Despite a significant amount of exposition, the book flowed well and was an easy but engaging read. I have Part 3 to blame for some irresponsibly late reading nights.
