I will actually fight anyone who calls the first third of this book boring. Building up the community of District 12, showing Katniss’ trauma, all those small sweet moments with Peeta, the slow build up of the rebellion and the mundane cruelness of the Capital is what makes the twist of the Quarter Quell so horrible and the events of Mockingjay so earned. I know the movie Catching Fire is most people’s favorite but I honestly cannot forgive all that it leaves out. From the avoxes to Katniss and Finnick’s friendship this book has so much more depth and care put into it. I adore the characters and the end of this story is actually singed into my brain. This book remains one of my all time favorites.

4.0

A strong sequel that doesn't suffer from middle book syndrome like so many other second books in a trilogy.

The story is off to a slow start and feels a little less exciting because we find ourselves back in a Hunger Games arena but the novelty of the concept has worn off a bit.

However the competitors are far more interesting and the growing tensions and revolutionary energy in the districts are compelling as well.

I mean, it's the hunger games, it's about kids killing kids and the capitol profiting of the exploitation of the districts.
