A review by yas_sezer
Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

5.0

giving this book 4 stars because i’m hoping mockingjay gives me the 5 i need (if it doesn’t, this book is a 5. this series is still a 5)

this book had me stressed and screaming and sobbing and making predictions that were all wrong.

chapter 4 and finnick saying “where did they get those screams, katniss?” got me in the heart. i had to shut the book from the intense emotions

the whole serious political turn the series took i really enjoyed - the presidents games, the new head gamemaker - i loved it (weirdly i don’t hate president snow… he’s a great villain?)

finnick, i love you. end of story.

i loved the dynamic between nuts and bolts, johanna, peeta and katniss, and finnick and mags because it brought some diversity to the group we have gotten so used to seeing. loved the old people to be honest, old people make me soft.

katniss destroying the force field was so satisfying and i was hoping she would do this in some way. didn’t know how it would happen but i had hopes for it and it delivered!

the whole clock concept of the arena was so fun to me. the jabberjays gave me chills. i do not like them.

i can’t remember the movies for mockingjay so i don’t even know what to expect in the next book. everything is so messed up now i’m stressed to continue.
