It’s been years since I’ve seen the movie and I haven’t read the original book (comic?) so listening to this left me a little confused at times. It feels very abridged! It’s a fun concept and starts off strong but I feel like it gets weaker once the vampires show up and it’s the town hiding. There’s definitely not as much tension in this format vs the movie.

A relatively short but enjoyable read. Some basic ideas and some I had not heard of before. Just the kind of book I was looking to listen to during some stressful times and give me some ideas to embrace rest.

I had seen recommendations for this book in the cozy fantasy reddit and even though it was nothing like what I’d been reading I wanted something short and sweet to start off fall. And this book delivered!

It’s a little slow to start, introducing you to the world, and I was confused at first by the non gendered referral to the main character, but the world and Dex drew me in. By the time the robot comes I was absolutely sold! Such an interesting look at philosophies and ideas of personhood and comfort and finding one’s purpose in life. By the end I had a giant grin on my face. And it left me wanting more!

I was wary of buying this edition as I already had the original audiobook but I loved Tatiana’s work on Orphan Black and decided it was worth buying it again to hear her take on the story.

I’m glad I decided to do that as Tatiana’s performance is wonderful! She brings a younger quality to Katniss, and does a good job helping you really feel like you’re in Katniss’ head and jumping between all her emotions. Her Captial accents are fun without being ridiculous. And her singing to Rue was unexpected but lovely and full of emotion.

So even if you’ve listened before, I highly recommend this version of the story! And I hope Tatiana might be persuaded to come back and record the rest of the series!

This book is an okay adaptation of the video game imo. It feels a bit rushed in places. Going from fight to fight to fight can get a little confusing at times. I'd definitely recommend playing the game before listening as it helped me to be able to remember scenes visually.

Favorite scenes: Starkiller fighting the exiled Jedi Masters. The one Mastee who's made an entire council out of junk was particularly strange and sad, while Shaak Ti & her apprentice were suitably badass. Davis' performance was definitely a high point for me. He does a good job bringing emotions to the characters in between the crazy background noises of lightsaber buzzing and animals hissing ect. His Kota voice was particularly good.

So overall I'd say this was a fun book but being that I don't think it's considered canon anymore I wouldn't rush out to buy it asap or put it on any top 10 lists. Wait and come at this story once you already have some other books/SW history under your belt.
