Well readers have you done reading The Hunger Games,if not I do recommend you to read it before you finish reading this review because this is the second book of the series and it may contain spoilers.Catching Fire is the second book in The Hunger Games series and of course the book is written by Suzanne Collins. The book was published on the year 2009.Like the first book it also recieve a lot of positive review and it also became a best seller for one time
The High and Low
.This time characters that were seriously underused like Gale and Haymitch shone more.
.This time it give us more detail on it's world mainly the other districts and the past winners
.The games started quite late in the book so after a while it felt a little dull
Quick Summary
Katniss and Peeta has won The Hunger Games but president Snow is not happy because of the action they did to save themselves in The Hunger Games.Now he thinks it might start a rebellion so the makers decided for this Quarter Quell(Quarter Quell is a special games that they make every 25 years,every Quarter has their own rule for example the second Quarter Quell had the double number of player which means they had 48 kids instead and guess who won the game,it's none other than their own mentor Haymitch) instead of reaping the kids like they're used to they will reap two of the previous winner from each disitrict which means Katniss had been forced to enter again as she is the only female winner of district 12................................................If you want to know what's next read the book.
The Conclusion
Catching Fire is definitely a great sequel to the Hunger Games.While the story did start late meaning the battle started when the book already reached more than half of it's content and by doing that the author made the first part of the story dull and the second part of the story a little bit rushed.Luckily the story was still interesting as the first book especially the chapter that showed on how Haymitch won his Quarter Quell so readers might forgive her for doing that.The characters also shone more than the first book this time characters like Haymitch and Gale had more appearence and it also had a couple of new characters like Finnick,Wiress,Beetee,Mags,Chaff,Brutus and Johana(Johana is definitely my favourite from the list of these new characters) While the book may not have reached the same level as the first book it is still a very enjoyable book.
