I hope everyone in Panem fights and rises from the ashes, better than they were before. I cannot wait to read the conclusion, which I’ve heard has a different tone than the first two books. The message of privilege, rebellion, and resistance at the face of oppression reverberates throughout this series. Even in a character like Finnick, who we meet in Catching Fire, he seems like he could simply be the comic relief but underneath his funny armor he is vulnerable. Katniss is a strong heroine who’s multifaceted and complex. Like I said in my review of The Hunger Games, I love the characters in this series. Suzanne Collins’s command of her craft is admirable. The characters are fantastic and the story grabbed me from the beginning. If I had my choice, I would have read it all in one sitting it was that good. Now on their national tour, the country’s favorite star-crossed lovers must keep up the appearances of unending love and devotion or their families will face the Capitol’s wrath.įilled with surprises at every turn, this is the sort of book you will want to clear your day to finish. President Snow isn’t happy with how the 74th annual Hunger Games ended, with Katniss and Peeta’s public display of rebellion to the citizens of Panam. The second installment of this international phenomenon is the kind of thrilling that kept me on the edge of my seat! I didn’t think the Capitol could get any crueler and then I read CATCHING FIRE.
