‘This series is an excellent series for young girls who adore “Twilight” but it fails miserably outside of describing teenage romance/clothes/make-up.”
If that is all you got out of it, then you missed the point of the trilogy, which is seeking individual freedom that is denied by a tyrannical dictatorship that requires human sacrifice every year as a reminder to the oppressed districts that they lost the war of rebellion 74 years earlier.
I got the point however where was the depth? She never expanded on the political or economic underpinnings nor was the action particularly believable.
In short, it was a terrible trilogy. Just my opinion.
