This is a great addition to the Hunger Games trilogy.

1. Post-victory life. It was really interesting to see what life is like for victors. If this whole book was about Katniss and Peta becoming mentors I think I would have enjoyed it just as much.

2. Dynamic world building. The way Collins describes the new arena is so compelling. The reader gets to solve the puzzle along with the characters; it is extremely rewarding (especially towards the end).

There were some negatives points in this book, most glaring being the fake pregnancy. I suppose it makes sense for the characters, it's just not something I enjoyed. 

Overall, another great book!
