I liked the new book, although i thought there were a bit too many callbacks to the original series. I must admit getting to see Effie again was a real treat though.

Haymitchs connection to Katniss’s dad was a bit of an eye roll. But I LOVED being able to learn more about Beetee, Wiress and Mags. For me that was fan service done right.

I don’t understand the fandom’s insistence on Katniss being Native American. I don’t mind it at all as a headcanon, but why do people act like it’s explicitly stated that she is? And the reasons they give are so ridiculous—it’s always that she has olive skin, wears her hair in a braid, is good with a bow, and is from Appalachia. Never mind that her mom is blonde and blue-eyed, though—lol.

If you know you know

man i just finished sotr and am i crazy or does this book feel incredibly ghostwritten compared to all the other books? genuinely felt like a draft but also like it was clearly written knowing this would be turned into a movie idk how to describe it such lazy work

I think it was still decent but it was a huge step down after Ballad of songbirds and snakes. Bosas was sizeably longer so characters had a lot more space to be fleshed out and we also got to learn a lot more about panem and its history. Even the small characters felt important and interesting. Maybe its just me but while reading sotr I couldnt give two shits about newly introduced characters like louella and lenore dove.

Samefag, him being friends with them was kinda ridiculous because if they were we would at least see haymitch opening up about it to katniss in mockingjay or catching fire. But he doesnt so its hard to see it as anything other than an invention for sotr.

> Should there be more books? If so what about?
I think a sequel about a post-revolution panem would be interesting. If it will be a prequel i kinda hope it wont be about finnicks hunger games because I dont think it has enough new stuff to bring to table. We already got the "This victor pulled a really big stunt but it was erased from history of the games" thing with Haymitch's story anyways, I don't know what else could be done with another victor book. With Finnick only cruel aspect of the games that could be expanded upon would be sexual abuse of victors and that would be too disturbing for the audience.

Lenore was such a retarded character especially compares to Lucy Gray. I agree tho Ballad was a good prequel and villain origin story. Although Snow is obviously awful his inner dialogue was honestly hilarious at times and a lot of what happened with him was a good take on Nature vs Nurture. I can’t believe that book and SOTR are written by the same person. Haymitchs plot armor was fucking insane. And Snow in SOTR was such a fucking tard it was such a vibe shift on his character he felt so cartoonish and not calculated and cool at all.
