4.5

This second instalment of the Hunger Games trilogy continues the series explosive and visceral storytelling with a new harrowing chapter. Katniss and Peeta have survived the horrors of the Hunger Games, but now they have unwittingly ignited the spark of revolution. This volume continues the series' commentary on the decadent Capital and its excesses, in contrast to the desperation and unrest of the Districts. Similarly, the depth of critique of state surveillance is great, surprising readers in 2009 but less novel to contemporary readers, revealing much about our current society. The twists and turns of this book build toward its terrifying conclusion and a new paradigm that might change the course of a nation. Amazing book that I could not put down!

I will actually fight anyone who calls the first third of this book boring. Building up the community of District 12, showing Katniss’ trauma, all those small sweet moments with Peeta, the slow build up of the rebellion and the mundane cruelness of the Capital is what makes the twist of the Quarter Quell so horrible and the events of Mockingjay so earned. I know the movie Catching Fire is most people’s favorite but I honestly cannot forgive all that it leaves out. From the avoxes to Katniss and Finnick’s friendship this book has so much more depth and care put into it. I adore the characters and the end of this story is actually singed into my brain. This book remains one of my all time favorites.
