4.5
4,5 stars - Sequels scare me, but this one was well executed. The first book is nuts, but this one is batshit crazy. The way the Capitol messes with the tributes' heads will always leave me to want to throw hands at them myself. .
We finally saw more of Gale, and we know more about Madge. I loved Wiress & Beetee. Rue and Thresh were mentioned multiple times and I loved that too. Johanna Mason knows how to make her entrance & I liked the Haymitch backstory. Johanna is jumping up and down to end Santa Claus.
