Catching Fire - Suzanne Collins

Against all odds, Katniss 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 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 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. In Catching Fire, the second novel of the Hunger Games trilogy, Suzanne Collins continues the story of Katniss Everdeen, testing her more than ever before…and surprising readers at every turn.

I always find it so much harder to write reviews for books that I really love than books that I really hate. And unfortunately, this is a book that I REALLY REALLY loved. I feel like no matter what I say, my review will not be able to portray how amazing this book really is. Catching Fire is SO intense!! I loved the cliffhanger, I loved the writing, I loved the twist, I even loved the love triangle! Suzanne Collins has done it again. It is so addictive and gripping- there aren’t even words to explain what a phenomenal series this is. The writing is flawless, and the characters made me both laugh out loud and cry with despair. The plot is amazing. Just amazing. I honestly couldn’t believe the happenings of this book. My expression:
