Review Detail

I didn't find this book as traumatizing as the first one, but I think that's because the underlying current of terror was pushed to the surface and you were faced to deal with it square on, just as the characters were. My heart ached for them all, especially the tributes/victors. Hadn't they experienced enough pain and suffering? The author is amazing at writing characters that break your heart and characters that you would be terrified of if they existed in real life. I knew something like the ending was going to happen, but I hadn't quite figured it out before it happened. I cannot wait to read the next book.
