Endlich bin ich dazu gekommen, den zweiten Teil zu lesen und er hat nicht enttäuscht. 
Ich bin froh, dass ich die Filme früher nicht angeschaut habe, so ist mir fast die ganze Geschichte neu und ich kann sie für mich erleben. 

Ich bin gespannt wie es in Band 3 weiter geht!

You see a clear deterioration of Katniss' mental health in this book. There are also more details about how horrible their society is.

Catching Fire is the second book in The Hunger Games series and it's just as good, if not better than the first novel in the series, The Hunger Games.

In this book we follow Katniss Everdeen and her cast of returning allies and antagonists, as well as new characters that shouldn't be judged at first introduction. This book was action packed and the suspense was ever growing. 

I remember enjoying this the first time I read it over 10 years ago, and now that I've read it again I love it just as much as I did back then.  I can't wait to dive back into the third book, Mockingjay.

This sequel! SO. GOOD. I still cannot believe I have never read this trilogy before. The pacing is amazing. Reads like a train we say in Dutch and we'll it really does. Like on of those high-speed ones that just don't stop because it's hard to put these books down. 
Though I will say, I'm fully convinced Katniss is on the ace-aro spectrum.
Like first of all, she's been faking the whole thing with Peeta and feels barely anything about it except for it being a great strategy. They have a few real moments, but nothing that really stands out to me as romantic. Secondly, I feel like she wants us to think she's torn between Gale and Peeta. But we, the reader, don't really know Gale and her time with him. It's making it hard to see anything romantic between them. Whereas with Peeta we do see them together so much, yet Katniss is only thinking of how to use him to her advantage. 
Anyways just my thoughts on that.
I love these books and I'm so excited to read the final one.
