Last time on Catching Fire, it seems the series of unspecified disasters included maple trees producing syrup right from the tap. I guess God is dead and, like your average load-bearing boss, taking him out reverses the various curses and blessings he’s thrown around? Also, there’s death fog.
At least stuff is happening.
Last time on Catching Fire, Cinna was horribly beaten, possibly to death, by the evil government! And now Katniss is in the middle of the ocean as the Hunger Games start! Oh plot, finally you’ve returned to us!
This book is worse.
Last time on Catching Fire, more mockingjays and flames.
Katniss continues to be completely self-centered and a terrible role model.
Last time on Catching Fire, Katniss hung a dummy.
Like everything so far, this is a big impressive strike at the capital in some undefined way that doesn’t involve actually accomplishing anything.
Last time on Catching Fire, Katniss hollows out her soul and the book once again made an attempt to tell us Random Act is actually striking back at the capital.
And now, the other winners! Thank god I am so sick of the main characters.
Last time on Catching Fire, Katniss is worthless so she’s going to die for Peeta.
This chapter doesn’t have a dramatic ending line, so there’s that, at least.
Last time on Catching Fire, we find out this year’s childmurder games are going to involve Katniss, again.
I think this is the worst chapter yet.
Last time on fucking morons who can’t tell that footage of a place still fucking on fire after seventy-five years is probably reused, Katniss injured herself and was put on bedrest.
Katniss is still in bed. Fascinating stuff here.
Last time on Catching Fire, Katniss met people who were more interesting than her, helped them out, then found the fence was electrified.
And now back to our scheduled stupidity.
Last time on Catching Fire, Katniss chose to grudgingly delay murdering an unarmed woman.
Luckily for her karmameter, she then finally does something good.
Well. I think this book may well be better than last book, but it’s less enjoyable, if that makes sense.
Last time on Catching Fire, Katniss guilt-tripped herself into deciding to stay and do what Gale wanted.
You’re probably wondering how the book will get worse. Well, wonder no more!
