The series continues. Didn't find this quite as enthralling as the first book, but that's probably just because the first is SO GOOD that nothing in the series could beat it for me (movies are another story). Still highly engaging and intense nonetheless. Love the new characters we are introduced to, especially Finnick. So good!

Getting more complicated, which means more fatiguing. But it also means it’s all coming to a head now. Looking forward to finishing the series.

 WARNING: SPOILERS 
some parts could be explained a bit better, but wow. It was such a great book! The arena was absolutely amazing, but took me a while to figure out it was a clock.
