Summary: From GoodReads.
Katniss is the spark to a revolution, and the Capitol wants revenge. She won the Hunger Games and returns alive with District 12 Tribute partner Peeta. But he and longtime friend Gale both reject her. On their Victory Tour of all the districts, locals riot but the winning duo must appear lost in their love.
Where as the first book was mostly about the actually Hunger Games this book is political and looks at the implications of the actions of the Capital. There isn't all that much I can say about the book without giving to much away. I liked the twists and turns of this book and didn't expect many of them. This book was less about the characters though and more about the plot. Characters have already been developed in the first book so there wasn't all that much character development in this book. There are new characters introduced that are developed but for the most part this book seems to be more about the rebellion and how it can work. Katniss spends most of the book trying not to piss off the president so that her family will be protected.
Unlike the first book this one is not a stand alone book. The Hunger Games could have been a stand alone even though it did bring up many questions about the Capital and Katniss' feelings.
I would recommend this book to those that enjoyed the first book.
