This book is even better than the great first one. This series touches on so many important societal topics but in a really intriguing world and with a gripping, heart-wrenching concept. The way the second games were written kept it fresh - it didn’t feel like the first one rehashed, it was a different story, with somehow even higher stakes.  This book is even better than the great first one.
