Last year was a good year for sequels. Catching Fire is the second book in the Hunger Games trilogy, and Suzanne Collins gave us another fabulous story.
The heroine, Katniss, is back in District 12 after her and Peeta's victory in the Hunger Games--and their victory over the oppressive government in the Capitol. There is little for Katniss to be grateful for as she relives the brutality of the games in nightmares, except that her family is now rich and she can share the wealth with the villagers.
Then during the Victory Tour of all the districts, Katniss and Peeta notice the discontent of the people and witness some shocking violence toward the citizens.
Only after a clandestine visit from the dictator/president does Katniss realize how much danger she, her family and her love, Gale, are in. There are whispers of an uprising throughout all of Panem. In an effort to squash all opposition, a new Hunger Games is announced with all the past victors. Katniss and Peeta are thrown into the arena again with surprising results and a great set up for the next book. I adore these books with their riveting action and surprises that I never guess. Suzanne Collins never lets me down. Buy this book!
