Catching Fire is the perfect follow-up to The Hunger Games. Although the book starts off slow, it's worth it by the end. Collins' makes a compelling case to ache for the characters, resist the Capitol, and to criticize the movement against them. This is not the first time I've read this book, and on reading it this time, I noticed another layer of depth that you don't get initially. I don't want to spoil anything, but the end is where the stakes become unavoidably clear.

might be the best book in the series yet. i couldn't put it down after i started reading. watching the movie and seeing katniss and the other tributes go to the same horror in the arena again is sickening. but reading it is a different experience. such an insane book that ended on a cliffhanger. i'm gonna read the mockingjay next. wish me luck ☝️

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!
