Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
dark
emotional
tense
medium-paced
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
4.0
A strong sequel that doesn't suffer from middle book syndrome like so many other second books in a trilogy.
The story is off to a slow start and feels a little less exciting because we find ourselves back in a Hunger Games arena but the novelty of the concept has worn off a bit.
However the competitors are far more interesting and the growing tensions and revolutionary energy in the districts are compelling as well.
