It's rare for a second book of a trilogy to keep up the momentum of the first but this book did exactly that. We get to know the characters more in depth and find out more about the resistance in the districts

Even after years, the ending of this book NEVER fails to shock me.

"there is no district 12" changed my little 11-12 year old mind.

Catching Fire is the perfect follow-up to The Hunger Games. Although the book starts off slow, it's worth it by the end. Collins' makes a compelling case to ache for the characters, resist the Capitol, and to criticize the movement against them. This is not the first time I've read this book, and on reading it this time, I noticed another layer of depth that you don't get initially. I don't want to spoil anything, but the end is where the stakes become unavoidably clear.

Another win for the Hunger Games trilogy. Again, this was a reread for me but one years and years in the making. It was even better the second time around. Super excited for the last book!
