Done Catching Fire

Done reading Catching Fire, book 2 to the Hunger Games Trilogy.

*SPOILER ALERT*

Same violence. Same Katniss. Even back to the same Hunger games.

At the first part of Catching Fire, I found it less intriguing than the first book. I don't know maybe I just got hooked up with the action inside the arena. But I can never doubt the suspense from the beginning all through out the end.

Didn't see it coming that Katniss and Peeta, together with other victors, will be back at the arena for the 'Quarter Quell". That's how cruel the Capitol is.

Remember what I said from my previous blog of Hunger Games about Peeta? Well... Peeta never changed. It's like action is not for him. But words. It's how he speak. That's his best trait. While Katniss, I can say, became much stronger. She now has more confidence that gave her rebel side more dangerous than ever.


At the end of Book 2, the real deal was finally revealed to Katniss. At least at this point, she knows she's not alone.

Now, she have real allies.

I will take a break with Hunger Games Trilogy first and get back with Mortal Instruments Trilogy. I miss Jace and Clary. Time for City of Fallen Angels.

Soon will get back to the final book of Hunger Games, Mockingjay.
Can't wait!

Hungry For More!

Done reading Hunger Games. Now, I want more!

*spoiler alert*

I was right when I said from my previous blog that this book is a bit dark for kids. Not only because the contestants are young but because there were really gruesome killings. Violence is very much present in this book. 

Let me say something about the protagonist of the book, 16 year-old Katniss Everdeen, the girl from District 12. She saved her sister from getting in the game and instead volunteered herself. I was really amazed by her intelligence, braveness and wit.  Whenever she goes to do something, she really takes time to think and weigh things over. She has this strong personality which lead her to win the game with Peeta Mellark.

Peeta Mellark is the boy counterpart of Katniss from District 12. So there, yeah, there's romance developed inside the arena where all of the 24 contestants should kill each other. Come to think of that. Intriguing, huh? But it really went well with the story. Some romance would really spice up a game like this.

The whole time that they were on the arena, there wasn't a dull moment for me. There's drama, romance, suspense and of course, action. Even though sometimes there's no interaction among the characters, Katniss' mind is enough interesting to explore.

From the get go, Hunger Games only allow one person to win the game. But then the rules changed, a pair can win as long as they're from the same district.

I cannot argue the fact that Katniss and Peeta won. I guess they really outsmarted the others, Thanks to their crew especially Haymitch - District Twelve's mentor. And thanks to Katniss' bow and arrow too. I just hope to see more action from Peeta for the next book :)

Inside the arena, Katniss and Peeta became lovers. But that's because Katniss thought it was all for a show. When they finally arrived home, Peeta found out that Katniss was just playing along with him. That's when he got hurt. This is the major cliffhanger of the book.

Will they stay as lovers? friends? enemies? Who knows when Katniss will finally be with her mother, sister Prim and Gale - Katniss' boy bestfriend.

I guess Book 2 - Catching Fire, will show more of Gale's character and I can see a love triangle coming! Can't wait to read Catching Fire!

I AM TOTALLY HUNGRY FOR MORE!!!
