The book requires some amount of maturity to read, with the alarming amount of Violence depicted. Consequently I would like to rate it for 14+yrs.
Nonetheless it is an exciting tale full of detailed analysis of Katniss' character. This edition is a major change of stance of Katniss because here she is seen as weak on the opposite of the first book's stance depicting her as Diamond strong.
This a fiery throwback to the life of our protagonist Katniss Everdeen. The games have sucked out the joy of the peaceful little life of hers. Buckets of money at her reach have made her idle and hunting only a past time.
She is not the only survivor of the Capitol's preposterous design, her district's male tribute, Peeta Mellark has also survived. This instead of providing Katniss solace for doing an act of Defiance against Capitol is becoming a nightmare for her. President Snow is at her doorstep with the threat of an imminent death if she does not convince the world of her love for Peeta.
She is assigned to the task of convincing the people of Panem to believe in her love during the Victory Tour:a tour of all the districts of Panem done by Victors of the Hunger Games.With this heavy task weighing her shoulders down, she is in a frantic state.The Lives of all her family members, the Hawthorne Family and Peeta's Family is at stake.
It is the 75th Hunger Games this year, the Quarter Quell, a special occasion every quarter century to renew the horrors of the Dark Days (The time when the districts had revolted against the Capitol's Rule).What surprise does it pack this time?
The revolution is still living even better it is brewing.The best way to describe it is that the Capitol's despotic system is increasingly under fire.
Kan Katniss,the girl on fire survive this inferno?
Will she live to call it day? What has fate in store for this seventeen year old?
