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!

my god this book is a banger. was suzanne collins sent the story in a vision from god because i would believe that

she still very evidently has her limitations as a writer of prose and i still so desperately wish i could hand off the hunger games to any number of writers and say “write the exact same story but write it better.” but i can’t deny ms. collins was working on another level storywise with this one. worldbuilding is still strong, and the character work too. 

can’t wait to get to mockingjay, which i recall being received as a letdown of a finale when it was released in my circle (of 14 year olds). i have a sneaking suspicion that mockingjay should have been two books (meaning in a roundabout way that two movies was actually correct…) but we’ll see!

Re-read.

Most of this meeting should have been an email. Top-tier series, but by far my least favorite book. Good for the plot, slow to read.
