This book is the perfect sequel and to ‘The Hunger Games’ and I could not put it down! Seeing the rise of the rebellion grow was so inspiring and it was written so realistically. The introduction of the past victors was cool and hearing their stories of how they won was also very cool to read. Joanna Mason will forever go down as one of my ALL TIME favorite hunger games characters and Finnick is also a plus.

The fact that this whole hunger games was part of the rebellion was amazing and how all of the tributes were in on it was so cool! I love how Katniss and Peeta didn’t know though and we find out what the plan was all along at the end.

Overall this book was amazing and I cannot wait to read the final book!

This book was awesome! Compelling and fast-paced. Damn, I felt a mixture of emotions while reading. Katniss was badass as usual. Peeta and his love for her, damn. Every victor was interesting in their ways. The tragedy, revolution, and love did it for me. I kind of regret not reading this series earlier, but I thought, I read it at the perfect time, in my early 30s. I appreciate this series a lot. I rarely read super serious books, but this one will be a reread material. Oh btw, there were a lot of horror and problematic themes also, like slavery, assault, murder, etc.
