my god this book is a banger. was suzanne collins sent the story in a vision from god because i would believe that

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!

On a reread I was really noticing how incredible the pacing is. I knew there were plot beats that had to be hit and I was impressed by how economical and seem less it felt. I will say part of the ending has always felt a bit hard to follow but maybe I wasn’t paying enough attention on my commute. Once again, this book holds up.

4.0

A strong sequel that doesn't suffer from middle book syndrome like so many other second books in a trilogy.

The story is off to a slow start and feels a little less exciting because we find ourselves back in a Hunger Games arena but the novelty of the concept has worn off a bit.

However the competitors are far more interesting and the growing tensions and revolutionary energy in the districts are compelling as well.
