No sophomore slump here
I got a galley at the BEA Conference this year. Before I started to read, I was terrified that Suzanne Collins couldn’t possibly live up to my expectations after the extraordinary Hunger Games. I’m thrilled to say that she did not let me down. I don’t want to give anything away as it would only ruin the rollercoaster ride of a read, so suffice it to say that all of our favorite characters are back to join Katniss as the spark of revolution catches fire. Collins is masterful. The story is at once personal to Katniss, Peeta & Gale, but it also makes social statements that can apply to society at large. Characters show the best and the worst of humanity. And at several points, I found myself finishing a chapter, stunned at the turn of events. Collins kept me on the edge of my seat. I hope she’s writing quickly, because I can’t wait for the concluding volume of this amazing trilogy.
