it's been over 10 years since I read these books, and I either didn't realize or didn't remember how much SC packs into every page. It doesn't feel like any word is wasted. Even stuff that would normally feel like filler or extraneous details (food and clothing descrips, for ex) feels purposeful; it gives insight into who Katniss is. like, she describes the food bc she starved, not bc SC wanted to write about a meal.
