This is my favorite book of the three. I love the way you start to see Katniss‘s true feelings for Peeta even though she continues to deny them. I also loved the overall idea of the set up of the arena and how they worked together to figure it out and outsmart the game makers.
Published 2009. The second novel in the trilogy by Suzanne Collins. After winning the Hunger Games, Katniss and Peeta begin their victory tour, visiting each of the 12 districts. For this years Quarter Quell, the tributes are picked from the remaining victors. Katniss and Peeta return to the arena on a mission to protect the other. They form alliances with other tributes and navigate the challenges of the games.
Once again I‘m late to the party on this one. 😂 Wow, I am really enjoying this series
Favorite book quote?
"There's always a flaw in the system."
Why? Because it's true and I can't forget it since 8th grade ?
300 Books read! I spent most of my life shrugging away books, just never had an interest. Basically spent all my free time gaming and, well, not reading. I can say I did start feeling the pull towards books for a few years before 2015, like Anakin Skywalker trying to resist the dark side. And like Anakin, I succumbed to the pull on 10/15/15…walking through a store.. I grabbed a book on a whim…and that was it. 7 years, 300 books, ~42/year.

Wow. Reading this felt like a slap in the face.

Catching Fire was an excellent follow-up to
The Hunger Games. The romance, the plot twists, and all the newly introduced characters added up to make an exceptionally intense and keep-you-up-all-night novel. I really don't think I could have asked for a better sequel.
Shelf 10/21, part 2/3 for this shelf 📚
My favorite here is definitely Catching Fire 🔥 🏹

Book 21.
Yet another reread
Do I finish the series and then move on to my tbr or go right into something new
I like this book because it's all believable this all could happen in real life. I dont like reading stuff if it's fake
I really like what I'm reading because it is so easy to relate to, also it is easy to just sit down and read you just open to whatever page your on and jump right back into it
I thought catnis was going to marry Gale but then she was forced by the government to marry Peter. I wish she would have marryd gale in the end but her loved ones would all die
My favorite part of the book so far is when they are in the justice building and there are so much cool details and descriptions
The setting of the book reminds me of my grandparents. Really enjoying how similar this is to my life. I can really connect to feeling the characters are having
My favorite part of the book so far is the description of the big beautiful houses. Also I like how warm and easy her life is after the games
I really like this book because it is very descriptive and its easy to get to know the characters and make connections with them.
I'm about 20 pages in. I was a little bit confused until pages 4-5 I really am enjoying it I dont like haymitch at all
The story continues in a way that was unexpected. I didn‘t know anything going into these books. I am enjoying them and the story of Katniss. Weird turn in this one that pushes the third. This was a good book to read on vacation in Florida this week.
This was a very compelling read, just like the first book, but it was also somewhat disappointing. Lots of deux ex machina and repeated elements from the previous installment. I'm curious to see where the third book takes me.
Also, Team Peeta all the way!
“Poor Finnick. Is this the first time in your life you haven‘t looked pretty?” I say. “It must be. The sensation‘s completely new. How have you managed it all these years?” he asks. “Just avoid mirrors. You‘ll forget about it,” I say. “Not if I keep looking at you,” he says.
I can't stop wondering what is going to happen next in this book. I am absolute loving it.
This book is by far one of the best books I have ever read. It is the perfect sequel to the hunger games and I love how the author manages all her sentences. It has just the right amount of description, perfect and fitting dialogue, and overall a fantastic book. Dystopian fiction is amazing. I would recommend this to loads of people.
Overall Rating 5⭐ | Narration 😍=Amazing
(Re-read on Audio)
This still holds up as one of my all-time favorite dystopian series. It is the series that started my love for this sub-genre of science fiction. The narration was once again top-notch and I highly recommend the special editions of these books with Tatiana Maslany‘s narrating. I‘m looking forward to listening to the final book in the series, soon.
This is not a quote but why do people think that forcing someone to marry somebody is going to stop war! Like umm if that is the case 2 years olds would be married. You never know what they people would do! Anyway the point of this is that if you are ever running a country DONT FORCE PEOPLE TO GET MARRIED please. Ok thanks for your time! Bye and have a good day. :D
On every subsequent re-read, I enjoy this series but there was something different going on with Tatiana Maslany's narration that I love.
The way her voice catches, the sighs and small dips in her voice. The confusion of her emotions from the last games through this victory tour and into the Quarter Quell really echoes through Tatiana's voice and brings another dimension to the role.
#audiobook Finished the second book and man what an ending! I was just as taken aback as Katniss; no one ever seems to let the reader know the plan 😉 Looking forward to finishing the trilogy!
I love suffering!!! God, I feel so bad for all of the victors in the Quarter Quell. I feel like these Games were even more visceral than the first. #yalit #dystopianfiction
Hoping to finish #CatchingFire tonight so I can start Mockingjay!
I read from page 100-230 today so feeling pretty accomplished. I want to get through this series (which is good!) so I can start the Red Queen series 😇
A great follow up! The plot is really thrilling, but the characters are also well written out. I would have liked for the time in the arena to be a bit longer, but this was also very nice. I liked how the 24 participants reacted in the trainingsarea. Katniss can be a bit annoying at some points, but she is still very strong and powerfull. Loved it!

Another exciting story. I had expected a different uprising. Unfortunately I was a little annoyed as I found Katniss clueless and needlessly hostile and at times calculating (which was good) and then impulsive (which was bad). It got a bit on my nerves. Haymitch was right. Nevertheless I liked the story and I'm adding the third book to my wishlist.
TBR since forever; 391 pages.

Although both Katniss and Peeta have won the Hunger Games, neither has achieved their fairy tale ending, especially with rumours spreading of a rebellion against the Capitol - one that they may have helped ignite. Catching Fire, an excellent sequel to The Hunger Games, revolves around the aftermath of Katniss and Peeta surviving against all odds, and tackling the unforgettable memories that terrorize them at night.
I love this series. The details. The writing. The story. All perfection.
