Catching Fire is
the second book in The Hunger Games
series. As mentioned in a previous post, I couldn’t wait to read this book. The
first book leaves the reader wondering what will happen to many of the
characters and really does not provide any glimpse as to what the second book
will revolve around. I can’t write much without giving it away. Part of the
excitement of reading Catching Fire is not
knowing what will happen next.
After the Hunger Games, the survivors return home to their families in their District, only to embark
upon a victory tour. They see things in other Districts and how the Capitol
controls the country. There is talk of uprisings in many of the Districts, but
it’s unorganized due to the lack of communication available between Districts.
What will Katniss do next? Run away from the controlled life she knows? Inspire
and organize uprisings? Or could there be something completely unforeseen?
With so many twists and turns, the reader is left surprised
at the turn of every page. You think you know where the story is heading and
something unexpected happens. For the ending, Catching Fire could have left the
reader hanging on the edge of their seat like the first book. Without giving
too much away, I will say it doesn’t. You get a strong idea what the third book
will be about.
My rating for Catching Fire: 4 stars out of 5. Get it here!
P.S. This was the hardest review to write without giving away any spoilers. Apologies if this post is vague.
