The fact that the Annihilation audiobook is being narrated by the same voice actress who did The Hunger Games audiobooks is really messing with me. And the fact that they are both told in 1st person narration makes it feel like this book is just part of that series. Like the biologist is just Katniss and her description of Area X is just another arena in the Games.

"Catching Fire", Chapter 26
Part 3: The Enemy
Chapter 26: Our Alliance hikes to the Lightning Tree of Doom. Johanna and Katniss take off with the coil, but it's cut. Johanna hits Katniss, removes her tracker, and attempts totrick the Careers into following her. Brutus says Katniss is as good as dead. A cannon goes off (Chaff, killed by Brutus), making Katniss afraid for Peeta. She follows the wire back to the Lightning Tree only to find Beetee, injured, with Peeta's knife wrapped in wire. Peeta calls for Katniss. Katniss calls for Peeta, hoping to draw any attackers to her and the Lightning Tree. Enobaria and Finnick arrive. Katniss prepares to shoot them. Another cannon goes off (Brutus, killed by Peeta). But Katniss remembers Haymitch's advice to remember who the enemy is so she sends her arrow into the "chink" in the force field's armor. She is paralyzed by the lightning and can't reach Peeta or his pearl. (Sadface).
Thoughts:
-- I have been listening to bits of the audiobook while reading along and I have decided that I like Tatiana Maslany as Katniss better than Carolyn McCormick, the original narrator. McCormick sounds younger, but Maslany--even though I know her from other things--is more Katnissy in a way I can't describe. Anyway, just in case anyone is considering downloading either edition.
-- It's funny that Katniss is so convinced Peeta could convince anyone of anything, like he could charm the skin off the snake. Because I can't think of one instance when he convinced Katniss to do something she didn't want to?
-- If neither Brutus or Enobaria followed Johanna very far, then where the fuck is she during all of this?
Quotes:
The alliance is over. Finnick and Johanna must have had an agreement to turn on us tonight. I knew we should have left this morning
Katniss thinks Johanna tried to kill her but just didn't get the chance because Brutus and Enobaria showed up, which is silly. If she wanted to kill Katniss, she'd have hit her with an axe not the wire coil. Sometimes our girl is a bit slow.
There's a much deeper alliance based on years of friendship and who knows what else.
Wait does Katniss think Finnick and Johanna are fucking? Hilarious.
The boom of a cannon pulls me up short. Someone has died. I know that with everyone running around armed and scared right now, it could be anybody. But whoever it is, I believe the death will trigger a kind of free-for-all out here in the night. People will kill first and wonder about their motives later.
This is Chaff's death. As I've mentioned before I am very confused as to what he was up to. Did Peeta run in a different direction that Finnick? Because that seems dangerous. If Brutus was following Johanna, how did he come upon Chaff? Or was he helping Johanna and Peeta just happened to see it? I am vexed by the Chaff situation.
The moan must have been involuntary. [Beetee]'s not conscious, although I can see no wound except a gash below the crook of his elbow.
So Finnick cut out Beetee's tracker before he ran? Or did he do it himself?
[Beetee] and I will soon die. Finnick and Enobaria will die. Peeta is alive. Two cannons have sounded. Brutus, Johanna, Chaff. Two of them are already dead. That will leave Peeta with only one tribute to kill. And that is the very best I can do. One enemy.
Okay let's say things go as Katniss plans here. Do we think Peeta could take Johanna? I know he's bigger than her, but I am leaning towards no if she has an axe to throw, but I am not sure she does at this point.
I have always known who the enemy is. Who starves and tortures and kills us in the arena. Who will soon kill everyone I love. My bow drops as his meaning registers. Yes, I know who the enemy is. And it's not Enobaria.
I really like this bit. In the movie it is just Finnick. But there is something about the fact that Enobaria was not part of the alliance at any time which makes me think of Cato's death, and even Coral in the latest movie. The Careers might seem evil to the outlying districts, but this is another deception on the Capitol's part, it keeps them fighting one another instead of the Capitol.

The purpose of this little get-together is emphatically not to bust your chops, as you put it. It’s to help you accept your partner’s death.

Carolyn McCormick's reading of the hunger games is so far superior to the version that's on Audible. The audible narrator is so flat and cool and like cold, cynical and stuff. It's terrible. Katniss isn't some brooding I don't care about people type. Why have they made her sound like a marvel hero???
McCormick's Katniss has the same sort of monotone but like there is this edge of constant worry and stress about everything and everyone which is so much more authentic. Like Katniss isn't cool and suave, she's like a walking bundle of worry and stress about everything.
Like McCormick's Katniss actually sounds like someone who is constantly preparing for the worst, yet is trying to put on a brave face for everyone around her. She's clearly a very emotional person who is terrified of showing the vulnerability because she thinks she has to be a rock that everyone else can lean on.

Listen, idk if it's the carolyn mccormick's voice or the lines he says, but peeta has got to be the best at flirting throughout the hunger games trilogy.
Cuz like just in book 1, alone, the amount of times this man's lines have me laughing out loud (and losing my mind):
