About This Edition
Press Reviews
Suzanne Collins Press Reviews
"A blindsiding development hurtles the story through its second half and matches, if not exceeds, the unfiltered adrenaline rush of the first book... Aside from being tremendously action-packed Sci-Fi thrillers, these books are also brimming with potent themes of morality, obedience, sacrifice, redemption, love, law, and, above all, survival." - Booklist
"Beyond the expert world building, the acute social commentary and the large cast of fully realized characters, there’s action, intrigue, romance and some amount of hope, in a story readers will find completely engrossing... A humdinger of a cliffhanger that will leave readers clamoring for volume three" - Kirkus Reviews
