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!

Audiobook - I really have appreciated this book a lot more now I am older - I once thought it was a little boring, not enough action, wishing the Hunger Games would begin sooner. Now, I think it is wonderfully written, telling the story of a girl who has been thrust into the heart of a rebellion she doesn't even know about and how she deals with it. The pacing is nearly perfect, but I think the final Hunger Games is slightly rushed - other than this, it is an amazing and impactful read.
