I haven't read the book yet. I totally identified with the whole "finding books on dubious websites" thing during my teenage years; I think we all go through that phase of digital extreme sports. 😂

How amazing that you won it in the contest, how lucky! You're absolutely right, there are stories that need to be read in physical form so you can hug the book (or throw it against the wall, like you said, hahaha) when things get tough. I've always been curious about his past because in the original trilogy he's already pretty broken, but I don't know if I'm mentally ready to see how they broke him and feel that powerlessness of the Capitol so closely. 🥺 You definitely convinced me to give it a chance, even though I know I'm going to suffer. Thanks for sharing this, I loved your passion!
