I’m starting to see why this book didn’t do so well. It’s a slog. Page 200 and all that’s happened was Cori pissing and moaning in his head how bad he has it while trying to fake being fine on the outside. I don’t even give a shit about the tributes. I know it’s supposed to be revelatory when the reader realizes they’re sympathizing with the oppressor but we aren’t there yet.
