More tense than the last book, for sure! The second book in the Hunger Games is a brilliant combination of deadly and tense, woven with intricate character motivations that really gets you. I just can't help but want a little more time with some characters because I got attached too, but still. Wonderful! Series definitely made its way to my heart.

she still very evidently has her limitations as a writer of prose and i still so desperately wish i could hand off the hunger games to any number of writers and say “write the exact same story but write it better.” but i can’t deny ms. collins was working on another level storywise with this one. worldbuilding is still strong, and the character work too.
can’t wait to get to mockingjay, which i recall being received as a letdown of a finale when it was released in my circle (of 14 year olds). i have a sneaking suspicion that mockingjay should have been two books (meaning in a roundabout way that two movies was actually correct…) but we’ll see!

“Catching Fire” is a stunning sequel to its predecessor as it twists and turns in every direction; this was actually really interesting, I thought, because it mirrors the upheaval and political unsteadinesses in the book.
I have nothing to say, really: this book is such a gripping page turner, thought-provoking and adventurous at the same time.
I’m still team Peeta, by the way.
