This is a sequel that is just as good or better than the first book. I pay this book the highest compliment: I couldn’t put this story down and kept wanting to turn the page. The embers of a revolution start here.

For the longest, we have known Katniss and Gale's distaste of the Capitol, but we finally get other characters with the same viewpoint as well.

Touching on the romantic element briefly, I still prefer Gale with Katniss, but I love how Peeta is the epitome of kindness isn't a weakness. But sometimes, he could tone down the confessions of his undying love. Way to guilt her to love you, bruh. The love triangle never gets in the way and enters and departs smoothly when the book calls for extra drama
