Description
Catching Fire picks up in the aftermath of the first novel, exploring the heavy toll of survival and the spark of revolution. Katniss and Peeta are now under the constant, threatening watch of President Snow, who warns Katniss that her family and friends will suffer if she cannot convince the districts that her defiance was motivated by love rather than rebellion.
The stakes escalate when the Capitol announces the Third Quarter Quell, a special edition of the games where the tributes are reaped from the existing pool of victors. This forced return to the arena introduces a more complex and deadly clock-like environment filled with horrifying psychological and physical hazards. To survive, Katniss and Peeta must form uneasy alliances with other legendary victors like Finnick Odair and Beetee, while becoming reluctant figureheads for a much larger, secret plan to overthrow the Capitol’s authoritarian rule.
