What an interesting chapter. I feel like Bronze could go either direction after these Games in terms of full on joining the rebellion or in trying to be the coolest, baddest Career victor [but still different from the likes of Brutus or Amadeus] that there's ever been. I love his ability to reflect deeply on his life and what's lead up to it and the versatility of skills he's shown. He...he's left quite an impact on me. I will re read this chapter again a few times in the future.

On a lighter note I imagine Sheen was extremely glad to finally have another D1 male victor with Gloss and then to have another 2 join just a few years later must have been excellent indeed.

52 and 54 are my fav games

This was an interesting start. But if I might be constructive, where Oisin55's The Victors' Project has it all over yours is an understanding that the traditions of The Hunger Games would have evolved overtime, in almost every aspect, from the genesis of the Careers to how sponsor gifts were sent, even how the arenas were constructed and designed. Plus, considering this is the inaugural event, it seems just a little unrealistic that the very first tributes would have known exactly what to do once the gong sounded. CragmiteBlaster's Cheating Death makes the very first kill in the Games ever happen as an accident, prompting a Lord of the Flies free-for-all. I just think we shouldn't expect the very first Games to in any way resemble how they are conducted by the time we reach the events of the original story, 73 years later.

By the way, you reached 600 reviews on September 28th, 2013. Congrats for hitting 700 reviews on June 9th, 2021!

absolutely awesome. No words.

In the Hunger Games movie, the arena consists of crumbling buildings and the winner is a male. As seen in clips being watched of the 'previous' hunger games. Sorry to be this guy, but I want to make sure you know, thanks!

Wow. That was...interesting. Emotional near the end. Over all, very well rounded out. The thing that stands out to me, though, is that 4 is the district with the most victors...17, while District 2's got 'only' 15. Interesting alright. Well done.

Gloss was 17 when he won and Cashmere was 18, they're twins. Also, Gloss won the 63rd games before Cashmere and Cashmere won the 64th.

I know you finished this story a long time ago, but one thing bugs me so much... Effie did not send Peeta tapes of Games from before the 25th games, because all the victors from then were dead. Therefore, Mags would not have participated in the 11th Games. Still a great piece of work!

When I read: Sextus
I almost choked on my laughter

This was brilliant. You're an excellent writer man. I'm really really impressed.

Very moving chapter. I'm kind of proud of Holly.

I thought no-one in district 12 had won until Haymitch. I might be wrong but...

This epilogue gave me chills. Wow fantastic story, I loved every bit of it. Your writing was amazing and the storyline was just perfect! I loved it ahhh!

Yooo just started reading this story and already I like your first chapter. Its great! Fantastic job I'm excited to read the next few hundred chapters haha

This was one of my favorite chapters. Toby and jessie were both highly endearing characters and I appreciated what you did with them in this chapter and chapter 88 (in which Toby's thoughts about how he wishes he could have done what peeta did and feels more than ever like he failed jessie were especially moving).
