Publisher's Summary

Sparks are igniting. Flames are spreading. And the Capitol wants revenge. 

Against all odds, Katniss has won the Hunger Games. She and fellow District 12 tribute Peeta Mellark are miraculously still alive. Katniss should be relieved, happy even. After all, she has returned to her family and her longtime friend, Gale. Yet nothing is the way Katniss wishes it to be. Gale holds her at an icy distance. Peeta has turned his back on her completely. And there are whispers of a rebellion against the Capitol - a rebellion that Katniss and Peeta may have helped create. 

Much to her shock, Katniss has fueled an unrest she’s afraid she cannot stop. And what scares her even more is that she’s not entirely convinced she should try. As time draws near for Katniss and Peeta to visit the districts on the Capitol’s cruel Victory Tour, the stakes are higher than ever. If they can’t prove, without a shadow of a doubt, that they are lost in their love for each other, the consequences will be horrifying.

Featured Article: The Best Young Adult Audiobooks For Women Of All Ages


Many people equate "growing up" with "growing serious." But while interests may change over time, age does not have to be the deciding factor in what games you play, movies, or books you enjoy. Young adult novels are the perfect example of this. Though written with a teenage audience in mind, women of all ages are sure to enjoy the genre’s hallmarks: strong yet flawed characters, heartbreaking twists and turns, romance, and drama.

Perfect choice for narrator.

I was surprised to find that I enjoy listening to this audiobook more than watching the movie. That happened with book 1, and I anticipate it will happen with book 3.

Amazing in every way.

The book, to start off with is amazing and beautifully written with great characters and has a fantastic story, now couple that with the amazing voice acting by Tatiana Maslany, and you have one of the best audiobooks I know of.

not as good as the first.

This book was good. Not as good as the first, but worlds better than the last. The best narrator ever for a series. I can not say enough good things about Tatiana Maslany.

Amazing narration for a great story!

Tatiana does a phenomenal job narrating the iconic Hunger Games books. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of books 1 and 2. Off to download 3!

Tatiana and Hunger Games is a match made in Heaven

Very very good
The book itself was fun - still can’t get over the amount of changes the movies actually did make.
Tatiana’s performance is PERFECTION - they HAVE to ask her to do the recording for the new book.

Hard to listen to the narrator

Amazing book but that narrator is hard to listen to. The voices she uses for Peeta and Haymitch are so irritating. There are times when Katniss is struggling through parts of the games where the narrator sounds constipated trying to convey the struggle i guess. I wish I’d bought a different version of this audio book

Amazing!!

Book 1 captivated me but this one just cemented my love of the series! There's no point in me getting into it about the plot because what else is there to add to the millions of others!! All I can say is YES, it's that good!! YES, it lives up to the hype, YES, it's so worth the credit. Heck, I have the Hardback, Limited Edition Hardback, Paperback and Audio of this series!! Along with Harry Potter, it's my favourite series ever! Don't stay here reading this!!! Go buy this NOW!!!!

Tatiana Maslany performs this amazingly. She puts emotion behind her words and captures the atmosphere perfectly.

Strongly prefer to original audiobooks

The narrator is AMAZING. Perhaps my very favorite narrator now. Tone, pacing, inflection, voices for all characters, etc. are spot on!

About Time!

I have been impatiently awaiting the release of the rest of this series to be released with Tatiana Maslany as the narrator. I could not stand the sound of the other lady's voice. It was horrible. Tatiana sells this book! She actually takes to time to feel the characters and express them. Thank you for releasing these!

performance isn't that great.

better off getting the ones read by Carolyn McCormick, her performance is far better. these ones are read by the most monotoned actress in existence.

A-GAYNST the Capital

Why does this narrator insist on saying "A-gaynst" over and over instead of AGAINST? She develops an accent on literally that one word, and it's so annoying that it pulled me right out of the story every time.

I thought Book One was well done, but...

I'm middle-aged, and I know I'm not the target audience for this series. However, I found the first book to be well done, and it kept my interest throughout. It was a quick read. This second book disappointed me. There were many parts that required me to greatly suspend disbelief or, at the very least, made me roll my eyes, which never happened in the first book. It felt like she had to come up with so many new ideas that some of them seemed lame to me. I thought that parts of it dragged, and I found myself checking to see how much of the book was left, hoping I was nearing the end. I will still read the third book, just to find out how it ends but I hope it feels more like listening to the first book than the second.
