Kay Dee (what is your storygraph name? mine is in my bio. join me!) Meadows you don't need to start with this book. i liked this book and i don't think it makes that much of a difference if you read it first or last.

i did not remember anything about the hunger games or that world when i read it. i only remembered katniss' name and the avox. i did not even remember district numbers. reading the reviews and folks are talking about how this or that relates to the original trilogy. i don't remember any of those things. even after reading about the stuff, i still did not remember it.

normally i reread things when it has been a long time between volumes in a series. i did not this time because this was a prequel plus it happened like over 70 years before the original books.(less)
