![]() ![]() This novel can stand alone but readers will have a much a richer experience if they begin with The Hunger Games. The author also creates a tantalizing and unresolved love triangle between Katniss, Peeta, and Gale that will leave questioning readers desperate for the next installment. The story is equally rich in provocative political and social commentary, and exploring epic themes of morality, obedience, oppression, rebellion, redemption, sacrifice and, of course, survival. More of the story takes place outside the arena than within, but there is plenty of action-packed combat.Ĭollins offers readers intriguing insights into the nation of Panem: its power structure, rumors of a secret district, and the spreading rebellion. The pace is a little slower and the emphasis more on character than plot - Katniss grows considerable as a character - but readers will find CATCHING FIRE as much of a gripping page-turner as The Hunger Games. ![]() Collins does not disappoint in this enthralling, entirely satisfying sequel.
