without being spoilery, so1 AAAAAAAAAAAAAH2 The one thing I didn t like about this book is the part where Katniss finds out she has to go back to the Hunger Games I think there should have beenof a pause there for disbelief, for Katniss maybe trying to think of ways out of it, ways to kill herself even The book started moving at a really fast pace after that point, with Katniss and Peeta
