i didn’t like this one as much as the first purely because i don’t like the love triangle. i understand the symbolism behind it, but i think it sometimes comes at the expense of the character development. because the love triangle took up so much of the first half, it really took me out. that being said the second half definitely redeemed it for me.

Enjoying rereading this series, once again Collins’ writing is great and introduces a vast array of likeable (and unlikeable) characters. Makes me excited to check out some of her other works.

Kylmät väreet useissa kohdissa! Olen nähnyt elokuvat muutamaan otteeseen, mutta kirjan lukemisesta on aikaa. Tämä toinen osa on todella kiihkeä ja nopeatempoinen. Olin ihan yllättynyt siitä, miten pieni osa siitä oli varsinaisesti Nälkäpeliä.

Suzanne Collins on nuorten dystopian hallitsija!
