4.5
4.5/5 on a re-read.
Even though this doesn't quite reach the level of the first one, it's still a pretty great book. The characters are drawn to perfection and I feel as though I am left with so much to think about and so many different layers that I hadn't really captured on my first read. The audiobook narrated by Tatiana Maslany is incredibly immersive and she does a fantastic job capturing exactly what I think Katniss sounds like. Can't wait to dive into the next book now (especially after that ending!), as I remember so very little about it.
