With the Hunger Games freshly finished, a victory tour is right around the corner. Katniss must continue putting on show for everyone in the districts and the capitol, especially after a certain threat from the president himself. The book takes many twists and turns, but in order to keep from spoiling the entire plot.
I found the second book starting off at a spot that I did not expect. I figured it would pick up where the first left off, but was disappointed when this wasn’t the case. Although the beginning was different than I expected, it was still very good. Initially I found the book to be slow moving and honestly a bit boring. A lot of time was spent on the victory tour, when I really just wanted to get to the next major event in the book. After the book began to pick up a lot of loops were thrown in for good measure. Many of the twists and turns were very unexpected. In order to avoid any spoilers I wont go into much detail but the middle part of the book kind of boring, it was a ‘been there, read that’ feeling. But I pushed through and I am glad I did, the outcome was quite unexpected. The book ended leaving a cliffhanger for the next book and I was left feeling a little less than satisfied. Although this book is not as good as the first it is still definitely a good read.
I would rate this book a 4 out of 5 because it was a bit slow, but still good nonetheless. I would most certainly recommend this book to everyone, however I would (obviously) recommend reading the first installment first, or you will be very very confused.
