Book Review: Catching Fire (The Hunger Games) by Suzanne Collins



Katniss survived the Hunger Games. Now the Capitol wants revenge. It's payback time, and her chance of survival is even slimmer than ever... After winning the brutal Hunger Games, Katniss and Peeta have returned to District 12, hoping for a peaceful future. But their victory has caused rebellion to break out - and the Capitol has decided that someone must pay. As Katniss and Peeta are forced to visit the other districts on the Capitol's Victory Tour, the stakes are higher than ever. Unless they can convince the world that they are still lost in their love for each other, the consequences will be horrifying. Then comes the cruellest twist: the contestants for the next Hunger Games are announced, and Katniss and Peeta are forced into the arena once more...

May the odds be ever in your favour. 

I enjoyed the second novel in the Hunger Games trilogy, although I couldn't get over the fact there was no arena. That was until the twist. It was a good follow up and developed the characters beyond the first book. I loved the Quarter Quell twist, where Katniss and Peeta are forced back into the arena, alongside other previous victors.  While this book was good, I enjoyed the first, Hunger Games, a lot more.  

Currently reading: Mockingjay (Hunger Games trilogy) by Suzanne Collins
