Review of 'Catching Fire - Audio Library Edition' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

There are some predictability issues here.

-When Katniss came home and found a scary guest in the study, I had guessed it would be President Snow.
-When they did the whole marriage proposal thing, I had seen that coming from a mile away as well. -The uprisings in the other districts, I had seen those coming already during the victory tour.
-The quadre quell rule of tributes being picked from those who had already won before, I had guessed that already the first time it was mentioned that there would be something extra-special about that.
-The mockingjay symbol of the resistance, I guessed that as well at first go.The only surprise about that was exactly how long it took Katniss to realise that the new head gamemaker showed her that very same symbol in secrecy while they were dancing.
-The fact that there was a plan to escape the arena instead of playing the game
-Peeta's claim that he and Katniss were already married. (I guessed that particular revelation verbatim)
-The training scores.

I hadn't, however, guessed Peeta's claim about Katniss expecting, or Cinna's outing himself as a member of resistance movement. I did suspect he was involved or at least disapproved of the Games in general, but I didn't think he would out himself so obviously.

Being able to predict all those things so quickly was a little annoying, but other than that, I liked this book as well. And when it comes to romance, I find myself rooting hard for Peeta, based almost entirely on the fact that I find Gale's character irritating and possessive.
