adventurous dark emotional tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

Enjoying rereading this series, once again Collins’ writing is great and introduces a vast array of likeable (and unlikeable) characters. Makes me excited to check out some of her other works.

This book is even better than the great first one. This series touches on so many important societal topics but in a really intriguing world and with a gripping, heart-wrenching concept. The way the second games were written kept it fresh - it didn’t feel like the first one rehashed, it was a different story, with somehow even higher stakes.  This book is even better than the great first one.
