 WARNING: SPOILERS 
some parts could be explained a bit better, but wow. It was such a great book! The arena was absolutely amazing, but took me a while to figure out it was a clock.

This book very much feels like the second in a series, but not in a bad way. A lot happens in the book, but it feels sort of like a stepping-stone to get to the resolution of the third book. The 2nd and 3rd books are some of the best depiction in literature of PTSD that I've ever read.

The only painful thing about this book was how much Katnis can’t figure out her feelings. Otherwise this was a great follow up to book one and doesn’t suffer much from the “middle book syndrome” most 2nd books in a trilogy do.

This was a re-read for me. The book was absolutely devastating. I forgot how heartbreaking the story is, particularly the first half of the book . It's a crazy experience to feel such sympathy for fictional characters.
