Reread. A great sequel that builds upon and in some cases improves what was established in the first. Introduces some really delightful characters among the victors and expands the world really well. Can definitely leave you feeling pretty rough, because there is not a lot of bright spots in the situation we're finding ourselves in here with Katniss. While The Hunger games is able to hold it's own as a standalone, Catching Fire is not. It's very much a middle book and I don't think I would have enjoyed this book nearly as much if I wasn't able to immediately pick up the next book as soon as this one ended.

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!
