Catching Fire
Mockingjay
Before this year, I had never read a lot of young adult books. Luckily, we had a fabulous library science graduate student intern this summer who recommended/insisted that I read The Hunger Games and Catching Fire because the third book in the trilogy, Mockingjay, was coming out in August. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this science fiction, apocalyptic, and really violent trilogy.
I listened to all three of these. I read faster than the typical audiobook, and this is one series that I’m glad I had to slow down to get through. Like most trilogies, the first book is the strongest in the series, but I was invested enough in the characters and the story to want to see them through. After two cliffhangers, the third book wraps up the story with a satisfying knowledge of what happens after The End.
I've been told that if I like this series, I should check out Graceling by Kristin Cashore. It is on the "to read" list.
