Review of 'Catching Fire' on 'Storygraph'

5 stars

Ah yes. What a good week to be stuck at home after a surgery! Just finished this in time for the last book to be at my door. In the second installment of The Hunger Games trilogy, Katniss and Peeta have returned to District 12, but now the time has come for the Victory Tour and they must resume their pretend love affair in order to prevent disaster (read : revolution and death) from landing on their families. I love the story, the characters, the whole deal. However, I still find the pretend love affair between Katniss and Peeta to be absolutely unbelievable. Perhaps it's just me and I'm too cynical to simply be able to accept it, but I honestly don't see how something so...silly could prevent an entire world from uprising against their tyrannical overseers. All in all a great book, though.
