Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
3.5
What a let down! 😕
It's not a bad book, it's entertaining and well written, but after being so pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed "The Hunger Games", which I rated 5 stars, in spite of already knowing most of the plot, not being it's target audience, and how old these books are, I was expecting so much more.
At the very least, I was expecting more development and not just a rehashing of the exactly same plot with some new characters and a little bit of world-building to try to justify the existence of this book at all.
I love a good mortal competition, just not enough to read the same story twice.
Good, shocking ending though, so I'll definitely read the third book.
