Catching Fire (The Hunger Games #2) by Suzanne Collins
Sparks are Igniting, Flames are Spreading and the Capital wants revenge.
Against all of the odds, Katniss Everdeen has survived the 74th Hunger Games with her fellow district 12 tribute Peeta Mellark and they are both still alive. Katniss should be relieved at this and even happy that she gets to go home to her family. However nothing is ever simple in Katniss's life and the way she wishes it to be. Gale holds her at an icy distance due to the relationship which was portrayed in the games and Peeta is avoiding her at all costs. What makes it even worse there are whispers of a rebellion raising up against the Capital - a rebellion which may have been started by Katniss and Peeta.
Much to the shock of Katniss, she has fuelled the unrest and she is afraid that she will not be able to stop it now that it is in motion. What scares her and her family even more is that she is not convinced by capitol officials that she should try to stop it. As it draws nearer to the tributes victory tour of the districts and the capital it is obvious that the stakes are even higher that ever that they achieve this. If they are not able to convince the capitol and all the citizens of Panem of their love for all ages then the consequences with be horrifying. Katnis is about to be put to a harder test that the hunger games themselves.
I love Suzanne Collins writing style and she never disappoints. Her Trilogy is a great series however the stories stand alone as well - this is due to the way that she summarises what has happened in the previous book. Katniss is such a well rounded character who interacts like she is your best friend or a close relation. I would still highly recommend that you read the trilogy in order if you can because the story line is very linear. I have recently re-read the trilogy because of the new instalment to the The Hunger Games Story.
