reading red tower: fourth wing makes absolutely no sense

I did not enjoy the pacing of this the first 30 of this book was almost painful to get through because of the super clunky way that it was setting up its world and its Stakes the exposition the info dumping especially in some really forced dialogue was truly like cringe-worthy

Suzanne Collins did such an amazing job at making us care even for the side characters that we met briefly or even for the side characters that we didn't meet that were part of like the initial people who were killed as soon as we get into the Hunger Games Arena
