Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Re-Read 2/9/25

Honestly? Middle-book syndrome. It's still good, but I have to compare it to the first.

That being said, once I got through all the moaning and groaning between Katniss and Peeta, their mismatched love-life, I found the bones of a pretty good story with only a few moments that made me ask, yet again, how the hell they got there without an author forcing the issue.

Did I hate it all? No, not at all. I was rooting for them all BECAUSE I wanted to see the government fall. They deserve it. So I cheered these baby steps of rebellion, of an eventual mass-movement. It was fun.

Even if I felt like I was living off a land that cried because I didn't love it enough, like those fried rats in the trees, it was still fun to re-visit. My synesthesia thought they tasted like chicken, so hey, I'm not complaining.


Personal note:
If anyone reading my reviews might be interested in reading my own SF, I'm going to be open to DM requests. I think it's about time I get some eyes on them.
