4.5/5
After her return from the Hunger Games, Katniss has become the unwitting spark of a revolution in Panem. Her defiance in the arena places all of her loved ones in danger as the leaders do everything they can quiet the unrest. She soon realizes they will do whatever necessary to eliminate the threat she poses to their power, including sending her back into the Games.
Catching Fire maintains the excellent pacing of it's predecessor. Its rating only suffers based on the book's position in the middile of a trilogy - there is no new plot and nothing is resolved. However, the characters continue to grow as twists and deceptions are revealed. Katniss is faced with tougher decisions and the fight for her life is even more dangerous.
