Just when you think the first one can’t be beat the second one comes along and blows it out of the water.

The action in this one is just superb. And the whole quater-quell and cast of new characters is really what makes this my favorite book from the series.

Additionally, I a former pro-Gale-er, upon this reread can really see how Peta and Katniss’s relationship slowly matures. The fact that Peta is her safety makes me all soft inside.
