2024 review:
Wow. For some reason, what happens in the second book is not what I was expecting. But it was great. Of course, once again I felt that the start was a little slow, and I was surprised at how fast everything happened in the last quarter. I sped through the last 30% and can honestly say that I'm so excited to read the third book!
The direction of the story was little predictable, but it was done in a way where I was still surprised at what happened.
The relationship between Katniss and Peeta is so interesting I'm like DO I SHIP THEM OR NOT???? Are they endgame???? IDK WHAT TO FEEL.
Regardless, I can't wait to move on to the third book, and I'm so glad I decided to read this series.
I'm also so excited to rewatch the films as well!
2025 review:
Catching Fire is my favourite of the three books so rereading this was so fun. I loved seeing the interactions between Peeta and Katniss ans I still wish more of them were included in the films. Some of them are so wholesome, and would have really shaped their characters. But nevertheless, it was still nice seeing them within the books.
Reading the book makes the film make so much more sense. There were elements of the book that I had forgotten, which makes the story more easy to decipher. I love the Catching Fire movie, but I do think the book is better.
Looking forward to rereading The Mockingjay now!
