finally. finished it. omg that was so hard after breezing through the thg trilogy…
things i liked: the overarching themes. the message. the games. worldbuilding was great too. i loved the movie actually i think it was better.
things i didn't like: the execution. snow is such an annoying narrator. pacing was wack. the references to the og trilogy were either okay or too painfully on the nose that it kinda cheapens the trilogy.
but overall it was fine. didn't hate (most of) it but i wouldn't read again idk

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? No

don’t be fooled by the 3 stars bc i loved this book. it had no plot, no worldbuilding, just an unserious ‘rivalry’ and a dream.
