As any antisocial, dystopian-loving bookworm, I was a big fan of The Hunger Games in high school. I was sucked into the high-stakes excitement of the games and has invested in the love triangle. I related to Katniss’s independence, and the stubborn grain and the outside of the screen and see how Jennifer Lawrence keeps it real. But more than that, it is a series that explores 21st-century topics such as political corruption, the propaganda, and the war through the eyes of their 17-year-old protagonist. The Hunger Games is a rare story that’s ALREADY not condescend to its audience, and I soaked it up. So when I heard that a prequel of the Hunger Games book, The Ballad of birds and Snakesit was published on the 19th of May, I decided to go back and rewatch the movies so I was speed. Here’s what I found reviewing the series as an adult.
