Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has won the annual Hunger Games with fellow district tribute Peeta Mellark. Katniss and Peeta should be happy. After all, they have just earned for themselves and their families a life of safety and plenty.

The Capitol is angry. The Capitol wants revenge.

i think maybe the thing i miss the most about reading that i haven't been able to capture as a adult is the location memory that comes with a book. catching fire is so 7th grade laying on the floor of my parents bedroom waiting for my mom to flatiron my hair into the the desirable volume-less style of 2009.

anyway shout out to peeta for still being the best boy

Even 15+ years on, these books are still amazing! What a great to be rereading them again.

From jump this book came out swinging. I really liked the district tours and the way Katniss and Peta had to deal with all of that. The 75th hunger games were so interesting and filled with amazing characters that I just want more of. I really dig seeing how the uprisings start from just little actions and the effect they have on everyone. Throughly interesting story.
