Others: Overwhelmingly positiveAgainst all odds, Katniss Everdeen has won the Hunger Games. She and fellow District 12 tribute Peeta Mellark are miraculously still alive. Katniss should be relieved, happy even. After all, she has returned to her family and her longtime friend, Gale. Yet nothing is the way Katniss wishes it to be. Gale holds her at an icy distance. Peeta has turned his back on her completely. And there are whispers of a rebellion against the Capitol—a rebellion that Katniss and Peeta may have helped create. Much to her shock, Katniss has fueled an unrest that she's afraid she cannot stop. And what scares her even more is that she's not entirely convinced she should try. As time draws near for Katniss and Peeta to visit the districts on the Capitol's cruel Victory Tour, the stakes are higher than ever. If they can't prove, without a shadow of a doubt, that they are lost in their love for each other, the consequences will be horrifying. In Catching Fire, the second novel of the Hunger Games trilogy, Suzanne Collins continues the story of Katniss Everdeen, testing her more than ever before . . . and surprising readers at every turn.

Loved itLike this is a fantastic book if you're just like assessing it without feeling and then if you factor in my feelings, like it's amazing. It was amazing. I loved it.
Loved itThe fact that I listened to all five of these books does say a lot about how much I liked the world that the stories took place in. I really enjoyed the establishing of the world in the original Grisha Trilogy but the characters in the Six of Crows duology were much more my style.
Mixedmy one little complaint is that I thought it to be on the slower side of things but other than that it's a freaking masterpiece
Loved itthis book specifically is my favorite one because it just blew me completely and utterly away and I have not been the same since reading this book

Loved itI did enjoy this a lot more than I enjoyed six of crows I love this duy because it's kind of loosely based off of the Grecia Trilogy and that world but I just I love the characters in this series so much
Loved itHoly crap! This book is so freaking good. This is the concluding novel to Leigh Bardugo's fantasy duology, which follows a rag-tag group of not so savory people from gamblers to murderers to cheats.
