Buddy-read this book with my roommate. Would not have read were it not for her. I don't particularly like Katniss, so reading from her perspective isn't my favorite. The plot was interesting enough, but it's just not for me.

✨4.5/5✨
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.
