More tense than the last book, for sure! The second book in the Hunger Games is a brilliant combination of deadly and tense, woven with intricate character motivations that really gets you. I just can't help but want a little more time with some characters because I got attached too, but still. Wonderful! Series definitely made its way to my heart.

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!

Katniss is a wonderful lead, just a teen forced into a system designed to break her, trust into the role of rebellion image because she's herself. She's not a chosen one, there is no story from 500 years ago which foretells coming and her being the straw that breaks the Capitol's back, these things happens because of who Katniss is.
Catching fire really teaches us that you can't break a system from within
I can rant all day. All I have to say is no notes!
