Synopsis:
|
In the remains of North America,
in a harsh future, every year two young people from each District are sent to
take part in brutal gladiatorial games in which there can be only one
survivor. When Katniss Everdeen steps forward to save her sister, she and her
male counterpart must face their own mortality and the stark reality of the
totalitarian society they live in and what else might be taken from them.

Verdict:
|
Books written in the first person are fairly rare because
they’re hard to pull off but it worked really well here. It allowed me to see
things through the character’s eyes without the world-building seeming
intrusive or taking up too much of the text. The reserved nature of the main
character also helped building tension and keeping things moving.
