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!

I think Catching Fire is easily the best book in the trilogy. Not only is the character development top tier, but it also had me in tears multiple times. I know that after that ending, I am in for a world of pain when I reach my reread of Mockingjay. But do I care? No. I will love every heart-wrenching second of it.

This book was fast paced and intense. I loved how Katniss finally realised she was the face of the rebellion and had to act on that. I thought the concept that the arena was a clock was really cool and different. I liked the first half of the book about Katniss’ life in the district after becoming a Victor. Definitely recommend and I can’t wait to read the next book!
