I Am Number Four | Lore Pittacus
Panpan

I feel like the author of I am number four saw successful franchises such as star wars and milked the success dry. My main complaint is the similarity of the bad guys, the mogadorians, to the mandalorians of star wars. They behave the same, love for weapons and war, check, destroy their planet for the sake of advancement, check, talented soldiers, check, I could go on about the similarities, It is to the point where it feels unoriginal.

The Ballad of songbirds and snakes takes an otherwise boring young Coriolanus Snow and makes him have a story worth reading. Mrs collins successfully made the worst possible character into an interesting and captivating story. I am only half way through and I can‘t stop until I am finished.

Spoiler alert! Why do I love these books so much!?
Mockingjay was slow to start but as soon as the action begun, I absolutely flew through the last half of the book, the scene with the lizards actually scared me which doesn‘t normally happen for me when I read. I have since started reading The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes which also somehow takes a normally flat and boring character and makes them interesting.

Catching Fire | Suzanne Collins

Catching fire built on the success of the first book and shoves you without a thought into mockingjay the third book of the trilogy which I am currently reading. The characters go from feeling safe for once, to back to the war zone that is the Hunger games. Must Read Undoubtedly.

Hunger Games | Suzanne Collins
Pickpick

Hunger games is fast and quickly gets your attention and before you even notice it is a fight for survival, rather a game. By the end all you can think of is the characters and the book and what happens next which is the main reason I finished in 3 days.
