This feels a little formulaic and reminiscent of the Hunger Games, following a very similar plot structure but changing subtle details and swapping out characters. It’s nostalgic and familiar, but it’s interestingly not feeling tired and overdone at this point. I’m curious to see if this setup is going to continue for the rest of the book.

The infatuation with using Lenora Dove’s full name every time that she’s mentioned is a choice (and a frustrating one at best). The plot has also started to drag with a seemingly excessive lead-up to the Games. I’m not really seeing the payoff for the prolonged introduction, but maybe there’s some foreshadowing that I’m missing?

Very intrigued by the more in-depth insight we're getting into the inner workings and behind the scenes of the games. It's definitely helping to differentiate this from the first Hunger Games book, especially since the overarching plots are so similar thus far.
