How is it possible that I enjoyed this book even more than the first one? Katniss’ world is in flux and it felt like there was a constant stream of twists and turns. This book definitely sets up the third book, but it didn’t feel like a middle book in a trilogy. It has much less fighting/hunger games than the first book but a lot of uncertainty and character development in the face of the Panem’s changes. My heart aches for Peeta…
