Audiobook Review

CW/TW: death, fire, slavery, mourning, hunger, hunting/animal death, parental death, emotional abandonment, ptsd

I haven't written a review in so long I forgot how to do the tw/cw, lol.
But anywhoomst, I enjoyed this so much, Matt Godfrey's voice is lovely to listen to and reminds me of Scott Thrower of the podcasts Fairy Tales for Unwanted Children, which I absolutely love, so it made me love the story even more.
Its not amazing or anything new, and for most of the first 1/3 I kept thinking "okay, Miss Everdeen" in regards to the main character because it reminded me of Hunger Games, but I enjoyed this book a lot. I don't know which of the two was published first (and I don't really care enough to check) but that's something that was similar about them and I probably enjoyed this a lot more because I love Hunger Games.

It's The Hunger Games meets How To Train Your Dragon (its not actually because again, the similarities with Hunger Game are just the MC having to take care of a younger sibling because mom is too grief stricken to do anything and the MC has to go hunting and trading and kind of look for charity because there isn't enough game to actually hunt) that I never knew I wanted. Ans I'm going to read the next book coz I enjoyed this one!
