Catching Fire is the perfect follow-up to The Hunger Games. Although the book starts off slow, it's worth it by the end. Collins' makes a compelling case to ache for the characters, resist the Capitol, and to criticize the movement against them. This is not the first time I've read this book, and on reading it this time, I noticed another layer of depth that you don't get initially. I don't want to spoil anything, but the end is where the stakes become unavoidably clear.

Another win for the Hunger Games trilogy. Again, this was a reread for me but one years and years in the making. It was even better the second time around. Super excited for the last book!

The only painful thing about this book was how much Katnis can’t figure out her feelings. Otherwise this was a great follow up to book one and doesn’t suffer much from the “middle book syndrome” most 2nd books in a trilogy do.
