How is it possible that I enjoyed this book even more than the first one? Katniss’ world is in flux and it felt like there was a constant stream of twists and turns. This book definitely sets up the third book, but it didn’t feel like a middle book in a trilogy. It has much less fighting/hunger games than the first book but a lot of uncertainty and character development in the face of the Panem’s changes. My heart aches for Peeta…

Really good book, as was the first one. The plot in this book was especially well devised, and the creativity and connectedness of the story definitely surpasses the first novel. This book was a fun read (if incredibly emotional and traumatic) and met my expectations! However, the writing style is a bit ”young”, which can make it a bit boring/unenjoyable at times (not significantly).
