Welcome to Litsy!

Another re-read for me. I forgot how much I love the Hunger Games! This one isn‘t as good as the first, but it‘s close. (9)
⭐️: 4/5

Coming down from reading the Hunger Games, I feel let down. It felt flat, learning of Snow when he was a teen. There were tidbits to connect the Hunger Games trilogy, though not enough to keep me engaged. I wish there was more of a connection of Snow of them and Snow of the trilogy. Felt like a totally different person, on a way that I don‘t see how he changed so much. Let alone everything with Lucy Gray. Who wass so much more interesting.

The ending! I‘m really making myself wait a little bit to read the 3rd book because I‘m seriously hooked.

I never read through book 2 and 3, but I‘ve watched the movies. Rare of me to say that. In this case, I was surprised by how in depth the touring of the Capitol was explained. Katniss is still a child, so those moments of PTSD are well funded. Same with how she is being used by the rebellion. I find that interesting; she‘s not really siding with them. She‘s just trying to survive her world.

Oh My Gosh I can‘t believe this was a book I wasn‘t into as a teen. I tried and didn‘t finish it - though I watched the movies - when it first came out. I‘m throughly impressed and can totally see how Collins practically invented this new dystopian genre. No notes besides - maybe this is because I know what‘s coming - that it would‘ve been nice to see more behind the reasoning why Pres. Snow doesn‘t like Katniss. We barely see him.

Happy Bookmas! May your holidays be filled with love, hope, and books.

I think i will continue re reading The Empyrean and Hunger Games for the foreseeable future because bad ass women who fight insurmountable odds is my mood. Feel free to recommend books in that genre. Please….
