Kylmät väreet useissa kohdissa! Olen nähnyt elokuvat muutamaan otteeseen, mutta kirjan lukemisesta on aikaa. Tämä toinen osa on todella kiihkeä ja nopeatempoinen. Olin ihan yllättynyt siitä, miten pieni osa siitä oli varsinaisesti Nälkäpeliä.

Suzanne Collins on nuorten dystopian hallitsija!

Buddy-read this book with my roommate. Would not have read were it not for her. I don't particularly like Katniss, so reading from her perspective isn't my favorite. The plot was interesting enough, but it's just not for me.

There's not much to say but that I really REALLY enjoyed this book. One unique thing I found is that most of this story is Katniss dealing with this newfound paranoia she's gained as a result of her trauma from the last book (as well as

Snow's first visit in the second chapter

) and I think most stories, especially when it's a woman dealing with this, the character suffering from paranoia would spend their time learning why it's wrong and to open themself up to good opportunities. Which is why I really love how validated the narrative portrays Katniss, she has every right to be paranoid because most of the things she imagines happening to her are carried out by Snow in some of the worst (best narratively) ways possible. She's never punished longterm for her thinking because it's not a flaw, it's necessary for her situation.
And I appreciate Peeta, he's not a perfect guy he ignored Katniss as much as she ignored him but I think he understands better than Gale how bad her trauma is (since he shares a lot of it) and how he's fully aware she has no intent to lead him on, it's just a horrible situation. they're both in that doesn't leave much room for romance. They're both still teenagers and I get so heartbroken how hard Katniss has been pushed by the end of the book where she doesn't think twice about

murdering Peeta, Beetee, and herself just to be spared of a torture she has, BY THE WAY, never seen and only imagined.

Literally the only complaint I have is like, one sentence in chapter 2 that I feel like could be worded better. Everything else is so great.
