About the series
Suzanne Collins's The Hunger Games popularised dystopian young-adult fiction in the late 2000s. In a post-apocalyptic North America called Panem, the wealthy Capitol forces the twelve outlying districts to send teenagers as tributes to a televised fight to the death. When Katniss Everdeen volunteers for her sister, she becomes the unwilling face of a revolution.
Recommended reading order
Read the original trilogy in publication order — The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, Mockingjay. The two prequels (The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and Sunrise on the Reaping) are best read afterwards: they recontextualise events from the trilogy and rely on the reader already knowing the world.
