Catching Fire🔥- by Susanne Collins

I haven't posted much lately. My books have been getting longer but I have posted on each one. I'll try to post more often, but I truly am doing my best. Anyways lets get to the point! Catching Fire is the second book in the Hunger Games. I believe you could read it without reading the first book it might be slightly more difficult but to be honest she spends a lot of time reviewing what happened in the first book.

Catching Fire explores the theme of rebellion in the sense that uprising against the Capitol begin becoming a regular occurrence in the Districts. As a result, the Capitol comes back strong with stricter Peacekeepers and Laws. By definition rebellion is "an outbreak against authority." This is occurring in the book when one rebels they all do rebel. Threats and harsh attacks go out to the one who started the uprisings (I won't tell because that would spoil).

A FEW SPOILERS AHEAD

I believe that the title itself has a double meaning. You see in the first book, she wore many dresses that turned to fire on purpose and she looked beautiful. She was astounding and she was known as the "girl on fire." On the other hand, the idea of rebelling spread as fast as a fire throughout the districts. All they needed was a spark and then the fire burned. Finally, (DON'T READ IF YOU PLAN ON READING THE BOOKS!!!)District 12 literally caught fire and the Capitol destroyed Katniss' home.

The book is so well written and it leaves off on a cliff hanger so that you must read "Mockingjay", the final book in the series. In the book it is the Quarter Quell, also known as the 75 Hunger Games. This year winners must return to the arena! It is horrifying Katniss! This is the Capitol's revenge for her pulling out the berries last Games.

I would totally recommend this book to anyone. My close friend actually recommended this series to me. (You know who you are thank you!) I love this series almost as much as His Dark Materials, to give you a reference. If you want to start the series you should definitely start with the first one though! If you haven't already I recommend you READ THE BOOK!
