Catching Fire (The Second Book of the Hunger Games)
Oh.Β My. Goodness.Β This book was something else. Whoaβ¦. Wow! I feel like Iβve literally beenΒ dragged through… Wait. Haven’t I said this before? Yes. Yes I have. And I’m right back where I started, but so much further ahead.
The series, so far, in a word? Relentless. Terrifying. Agonizing. Both heartening and disheartening. Okay, it’s impossible to keep it to one word, but you get the picture. Your reading experience will fluctuateΒ with feelings of anger at the corruption and lessonsΒ in futility. From hopelessness and despair, to moments of elation and encouragement. Sadness from loss, toΒ beauty in theΒ stolen moments of tenderness and bonding. And even an occasional chuckle here and there to lighten the mood. But whatever is happening,Β I can assure you… you will be feeling every moment. Oh! Here’s a word that just popped into my head that describes this series for me, so far. Awakening.
