 WARNING: SPOILERS 
some parts could be explained a bit better, but wow. It was such a great book! The arena was absolutely amazing, but took me a while to figure out it was a clock.

This book very much feels like the second in a series, but not in a bad way. A lot happens in the book, but it feels sort of like a stepping-stone to get to the resolution of the third book. The 2nd and 3rd books are some of the best depiction in literature of PTSD that I've ever read.

I am so glad I reread this book. When I first read it, I was only 12, and I did not understand any of the political commentary.

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).

Overall very gory and deals with death on basically every other page.
