How can Peeta and Katniss sleep in the same bed every night and Katniss is still like “I’m conflicted, I kinda like Gale but Peeta has saved me in ways I can never repay. But I’d never confess to either of them.”

Gale kissed you Katniss just to claim you, and he didn’t even have the decency to clarify why he did it. Rude. Poor Peeta is genuinely in love and you are playing with himself

Is it just because Katniss is a bad actor that she really hadn’t convinced the other districts she’s in love with Peeta?

Or is it because everyone just needs a reason to start a revolution? By using the girl on fire it gives the districts reasons to do what they’ve wanted to do. End the games, destroy the capital and get revenge.

That poor man from Fistfict 11 is flying up high with Rue.

Katniss…girl. Peeta isn’t “faking” this whole romance. Also, please stop comparing him to Gale!! You can’t compare them two, besides, Peeta is funnier than Gale.

There’s three people left and District 12 looks like it’s going to be the winner! Cato doesn’t stand a chance cause now that buff boy Peeta and the girl on fire Katniss are back in somewhat decent shape, they’re set to win.

The game makers know what they’re doing with that announcement. They’re fully expecting Katniss and Peeta to get brutally targeted by the other tributes.

R.I.P Rue, I’m sorry I doubted you. Thank goodness this is just in my imagination cause I would avenge her just in today’s world.

Katniss is going to trust Peeta now to win, but he’s like really injured I’m not sure how that’s gonna work.

Listen, Rue is a small, swift young girl from an equally, if not more, worse district. How is Katniss trusting her? There hasn’t been a doubt from Katniss that this little girl, just like Katniss and Peeta, hid her talents from everyone and is actually a maniac….

Yes I’ve seen the movie and I obviously know what happens but the fact that Katniss isn’t questioning it concerns me.

Just a thought.

Does Peeta want to be the one to kill Katniss but like at the end of the games? Like a “Screw you mum! You never believed I could win.” Type of thing.

So far, Katniss hasn’t killed as many people as I imagined she would have. Actually Peeta is the one being more of an animal even though he said I want to be myself, not what the game makers want me to be.

Katniss smiled at the camera such a bad bitch!

I can’t put this book down!

It may be the audiobook helping but this is so well paced that there isn’t a moment for me to get bored. The MANY descriptions of the food get me hungry though. Loved the interview guy.

The relationship between Katniss and Peeta is very interesting, he’s very kind (Maybe) and she’s openly rude/guarded (protecting herself) so I’m eager to see this relationship further develop.

Cinna and Portia deserve a lot for making district 12 stand out! When Katniss thought she was going to be naked because Cinna said he wanted to change it up I found that funny.

Peeta said “You should wear flames more often, they suit you.” That’s kinda cute but also… he could be planning to burn her alive…idk.

I appreciate how level headed Katniss is. She’s thinking ahead of everything. Not crying on camera, questioning the intentions of the baker and his son Peeta, very stern with her mother, Prim and Gale right as she’s leaving.

However, she still has her moments of being human, so I can feel some empathy towards her.

Subscriptions: I can heavily agree with all Kohler says and I like to think I follow his advice already.
You don't realise how much money is sent into a void until you calculate just how much is gone. We all are victims to it, but even just that chapter can help even the lazy!

Seriously, how the heck is this story going to end? Riven has to kill Jude but obviously doesn’t want to.

I think Sil is not as powerful as he claims. If Riven can convince everyone to go off script with the limited time they have to do so, they can take him out.

Oh, I’m still confused when I read certain scenes. Might be a skill issue.

I’m not letting my confusion ruin this book. The more I read the more I understand, the more it revealed the better for me.

For obvious reasons, talking like they’re in a play, they got characters, they’re not “real” is jarring. That’s when I get hella confused but you get into a rhythm.

It’s seriously sad though. “If not in this one, then in the next.” MY HEART HURTS STOP THIS NONSENSE!

Im so confused sometimes than I’m not.

If everything is already written, can Riven really change anything. My head hurts to think about this. Idk if it’s my fault or the books fault.

I'm so very confused but also not confused. Everything is coming out, Riven is realising a LOT of things and I feel like I just need a moment to think before I keep reading.

Wish me luck.

So, if you read your future on paper and ask someone to fix the mistakes you’ve read that you’re going to make…wouldn’t they just still happen…

Also, Jude, why have you been around Riven for so long? Very weird but also, are you like a guardian…player? Doubt it but this is very fun to guess.

Well…Vixen just confessed het real name, killed a government official (In the best way I could ever imagine) , realised how much of an ass Jude is, lowkey is a full blown Player and might have this dope power that controls marked ones….

All on the span of like 30 pages as well…

There’s a lot happening. Galen in the Playhouse, Jude essentially dying (but that’s my opinion) Alistaire having internal conflicts of who’s good and bad.

Kinda overwhelmed but probably not as much as Sil right now.

Jude and Alistaire having a cliche moment in a small inn will always be one of my favourite tropes! I’m also grateful for how short it was, not too much cause lowkey there are still secrets that could ruin everything…

Jude yelling at Alistaire how she didn’t defend herself and she should be mad at the north was honestly heartbreaking. I loved that whole argument so much, good hits on both ends!

Alistaire is seeing the good in Jude…uh oh. Nah it’s a good thing right! He’s not even a bad guy… he’s just misunderstood… I’ll say whatever if it gets me in a room with him ehehehe.

We all agree the North is most likely the bad guys here. Or is Jude lying? See…I don’t know. There’s a lot of theories to go around and so far in guessing that Gene Hunt is maybe a puppet for the North???

Woah SO MUCH just go revealed I’m honestly speechless. Jude, you sneaky bugger you.

Just reached an intermission and that’s spectacular. Shannon J Spann, you got a fun way of dividing this novel.

My only issue was that I felt confused and frankly stupid towards this intermission, however, that last page got the ball rolling again. Love the pacing and planning.

I suspect, something between Gene Hunt and Jude caused Jude to be cursed or something of the sort. Because him and Sil were clearly arguing about losing time… suspicious behaviour.

Riven mimicking Jude was fun, but also, I hate it. That scene was so beautiful, Riven really knows how to boost Jude’s ego by TOUCHING him. Can’t lie, I’d do the same and say it’s for my “plan”.

It may be that I haven’t read a good fantasy book in a while but reading the first play that Alistaire was in, really confused me. Sometimes I feel like I have a grasp of how everything works but then something unbelievable happens, or some characters say something that confuses me further.

I think I need to lock in a little more. Jude, you have feelings and that’s a good thing. Maybe. Probably.

I suspect they kill the contenders because no mortal can learn the Player secrets of Reality Suspension, mimicry etc. That’s why they can’t just leave. Cause, why wouldn’t Sil use their death for the audience to watch? Why is it in private?

Anyways, Jude said, in a close up, low, sensual voice “Lie to me,” and that did it for me. He’s so pretty.

Riven…your stubbornness will be the death of you. Oh, it quite literally was. You just didn’t want Jude to kill you so you opted for a fun little dance with another player. Not gonna lie…I do kinda respect that.

Jude and Riven are both enemies right now but they seriously need one another. Jude has larger things to uncover, with the help of Riven. And Riven needs her life and revenge. I’m so invested!

Jude helping “Alistaire” with her essentially fallen off ribs is a favourite trope of mine. So romantic even though he’s just helping her for himself.

Let me be delusional. It’s all I have.

YES RIVEN YOURE A BADDIE! Having Players insult and torment you to your face and you still hit em with the perfect “Fuck off” at the luckiest time as well.

However, that arrow saved your life girl. I believe you would have died in that moment, or at least come VERY close to.

Stay being the best badass character, and let Jude help. He’s just a hottie with golden smokey eyes, what can go wrong…?

Riven, I appreciate you. So far, you’ve proven yourself to be a strong (albeit physically weak) character, you’re persistent and motivated.

PLEASE DONT PISS ME OFF!

Jude is fun. I like him. I can imagine how he looks and he’s a killer for sure. Breaking hearts left and right with his charisma.

“I will not die without having tried everything.”
I LOOOOOVE when characters have this motivation! For a character like Riven as well, it’s perfect.

It’s the type of character attitude that makes you keep reading, otherwise I’d be screaming at her to start LIVING.

I’m actually very excited so far about this plotline, the world and how glamorous the Playhouse is.

I definitely see Catherine in little Cathy. It’s also really annoys me. Seriously, there’s not a single character I root for in this whole novel.
