What is this book about?
Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has won the Hunger Games. She and fellow District 12 tribute Peeta Mellark are miraculously still alive. Katniss should be relieved, happy even. After all, she has returned to her family and her longtime friend, Gale. Yet nothing is the way Katniss wishes it to be. Gale holds her at an icy distance. Peeta has turned his back on her completely. And there are whispers of a rebellion against the Capitol—a rebellion that Katniss and Peeta may have helped create.
Much to her shock, Katniss has fueled an unrest that she's afraid she cannot stop. And what scares her even more is that she's not entirely convinced she should try. As time draws near for Katniss and Peeta to visit the districts on the Capitol's cruel Victory Tour, the stakes are higher than ever. If they can't prove, without a shadow of a doubt, that they are lost in their love for each other, the consequences will be horrifying.
A short review:
While I didn’t enjoy this book as much as it’s predecessor, I still loved every page of it.
Once again, Suzanne Collins proves herself as a great worldbuilder as she expands on the world of Panem, and we get to see more of the districts and learn more about Panem’s history.
What I especially liked:
The worldbuilding is spot on, the characters are amazing and the twist at the end surprised me while still having me go: “I should have known”.
What I didn’t particularly like:
I really didn’t care for the love triangle between Katniss, Peeta and Gale.
