I’m going to finish it because I’ve upped the speed, don’t have a podcast I want to listen to, and really don’t want to go searching for a different book. But fuck this shit.
It’s just horrible. Boring, poorly written, and just the worst characters. Ok, not Mickey7 levels of bad, but borderline.

The set up for the plot of this book is child brained.
The Hunger Games works because while the game is hard, and rigged against everyone, anyone can win. So despite the hardship there is still hope.
The laurel is rigged, and only one can win. And even if it’s clear someone else did, they still lose. This is only how you breed resentment. This is how you breed a rebellion. This is only part of why it’s stupid.
