Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins is the sequel to the book The Hunger Games. The book follows Peeta and Katniss as they have to face the victory tour after their big win in the games the previous year. Katniss and Peeta are faced with the challenge of making the districts believe in their love story to keep rebellions at bay. In hopes to make the districts believe in there love after a mistake in there speech at district 11 Katniss makes the decision that her and Peeta should engage, but (slight spoiler) due to their failed attempt to make the districts believe in there love story the two sadly find themselves forced to play in the games against 22 previous victors for the quarter quell. Katniss and Peeta are faced with the task of trying to find tributes they trust to form an alliance with in the games, and with only a short amount of time to decide Haymich has to step in to help out. The book has a lot of twists and turns that surprise you, and even a twist in the love story that I didn’t expect. It’s one of my favorite books I’ve read and it kept me on my toes the whole time. I think that Suzanne did a really good job at introducing all the new tributes so that you got a slight idea of who they were before the next games started. I think she also did a good job at portraying how alliances would work in a situation like this and showing all the different emotions of being thrown back into the arena. I think she did a really good job at pacing the whole book out so that we got to catch up with Peeta and Katniss before they were thrown back into the games. I think this book series is perfect for anyone who likes dystopian romance that’s more slow paced but also isn’t just focused on the romance aspect.
