#and it's not like i don't read#i read a lot!#or as much as can be expected when im yknow in school#and i've read a LOT of shitty teen dystopian in my time let me tell u#i was in middle school when the YA craze was happening i was in the THICK of it#and the hunger games IS genuinely life changing especially on reread#and removed from the context of the shitty YA craze#because i know it's been discussed ad nauseum but the clones really don't understand what made these books work#it's NOT the deathmatch#even though that is very well written and a good part of the appeal#the clones think they have the pieces#the strong female lead#the death match#the oppressive government#but it's always a shallow knock off#the WORLDBUILDING that suzanne collins manages floors me#but so does the characterization#the foreshadowing#the depth of motive and hurt and betrayal that each character has the capacity to feel and undergo#and the fact that she pulled that off while telling the story through the eyes of like#fucking katniss who is emotionally stunted as shit (but in a believable#realistically traumatized way)#ugh it's chefs kiss#i have more to say#you will be hearing it (threat)
