in case ur wondering, this marks the THIRD black character who died to further the development of the white characters

that awkward moment when the brooding love interest's tragic past is that his father tortured him and one of the methods described is something that ur own personal irl father did to u🙃🙃🙃

in archery, hand dominance doesnt matter as much as eye dominance. there r many cases of a right handed person using a lefty bow. ig i can infer kai was referring to peyton switching from right in the trial to left in practice, but i fear that also might be giving the author too much credit lmao

of COURSE theyre gonna kill the black girl to further the white characters' relationship and individual growth what did i really expect

damn kai has a really traumatic backstory :/ sure wish it actually affected him in any way

also i cannot stress enough. 18 hours. the audiobook is 18 hours long. and i am feeling every goddamned second

oh theyre pilfering plot points from the selection now?

never in my life did i think i would read a book that made me wish i was reading the selection instead jfc

also the names are so uncreative. the elites vs the ordinaries. ppl with fire powers are blazers, ppl with superstrength are brawnies. the totally-not-hunger-games are The Trials.

beyond the names, the world and the characters and the plot is like this too. this book just feels so... empty

what is this world!!!!!!! what does it have in it!!!!!! does it have electricity? widespread literacy? where are we, and what can we do??? pls god give me SOMETHING

wannabe hunger games so bad like sooooooo baddd
