Re-read for the fifth time May 2020

"She has no idea, the effect she can have."

I love this book. I love everything about it. Katniss is the type of character you need to read about it, a strong female protagonist who is able to look after herself and those around her. The love she holds for others burns bright and fierce and threatens to consume everything around it.

Katniss's gradual feelings towards Peeta really captures me in this book. Peeta's generosity and kindness makes every reader fall in love with him. He is prepared to give up everything to allow Katniss to return home to her mother and sister.

It is a book that shows devotion to family and friends and a refusal to give up despite pressure from higher powers and fear of consequences. A character that shows strength, love, compassion, weakness and ferocity.
