4.0

While slower paced than the first, still an exciting and interesting read. I love to see Katniss’ development from an unwitting symbol of the rebellion to a full-fledged rebel and her ever-changing relationship with Peeta. He and Gale come to symbolize the two opposing theories of war/uprising (diplomatic vs violent) in which Katniss will find herself torn between in the final installment. Collins’ writing is great as ever, packed with food symbolism, references to the previous book, and foreshadowing of what’s to come.
