I liked that the story
basically carried on where it left off from the first book. No annoying recap
of information and other stuff that when you read a series after all are
available is just tedious and not at all useful in my opinion. I also liked the
general plot based on revolution happening. And before I start on what I didn’t
like I just want it to be clear I did like the book (not love it) but liked it.
So on to what I didn’t
really like. Have to start with the love triangle, I just didn’t see that need
for it. I saw it was going to happening straight away in the first book but
really hoped that it was just me and that surely the author wouldn’t descend
into another Edward/Bella/Jacob scenario. Guess it was too much to hope for.
The amount of times in the
first book that Katniss was explaining how she wasn’t into Gale in that way,
and how it was obvious that Peeta had had an attraction to her his whole life.
Then add in, that Gale in my eyes isn’t even a main character I just don’t see
why there is even a conflict of interest after what Peeta and Katniss went
through in the first book. Then I wasn’t really keen and the fact the rules
were changed so that they once again end up in the Games. And how it took so
long for the story to get their even though hardly anything happened.
I’ll be honest I would have
preferred no love conflictions to be happening as I feel it’s taking something
away from the strength this lead female is meant to be portraying. It makes me
feel annoyed with her and I really don’t want to be. I’m guessing this book was
mostly used to set up the events that I’m sure will happening in the third installment so I will finish the series I just hope the third book gets back a
bit of backbone like the first as I feel it slipped with this one.
