With each work Suzanne Collins brings to life, a new world is opened, one expanding from the previous adventures of our favourite little rebel girl, Katniss Everdeen (a.k.a the Girl on Fire; a.k.a the Mockingjay; a.k.a the protagonist). However, do I believe that one of them reigns supreme?

The battle of the books (in certain cases, movies) was well fought, yet the final two contenders of the Mockingjay triad were Catching Fire and the Hunger Games.

Ultimately in the end, the first book took the prize. It had the amazing exposition, which when stretched throughout the novel did a fantastic job of setting the scene for the bloody rebellion that was to follow, and the freedom won from it. On top of that, we really get to see the process of Katniss' growth, instead of just the result seen in Catching Fire.

But even better... We see Haymitch in his prime as he takes a face plant on the stage.

May the odds be ever in your favour.


Right, the old cat was much cuter, too.
