This book holds up so well!

I was not a Peeta and Katness girl the first time I read this, but rereading as an adult I’m totally won over.

Suzanne Collins is such a fantastic writer, and I found myself unable to put the book down even though I knew what was going to happen next.

Rereading this as an adult, I’m also really impressed with how she tackles PTSD and trauma.

This was one of the best rereading experiences I’ve had in a while

I really enjoyed this! It was a captivating sequel filled with unexpected twists. It was rather violent and I didn’t enjoy how slowly the first half of the book went but overall, I thought it was a good read!

Buddy-read this book with my roommate. Would not have read were it not for her. I don't particularly like Katniss, so reading from her perspective isn't my favorite. The plot was interesting enough, but it's just not for me.
