Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins - A Review

Catching Fire continues Katniss Everdeen’s story after her unexpected victory in the Hunger Games. Life in Victor’s Village should feel safe, but instead it comes with new dangers. Katniss and Peeta’s defiance has stirred unrest in Panem, and the Capitol—especially President Snow—is watching them closely.

Because the story is told from Katniss’s point of view, readers experience her uncertainty and fear right along with her. She’s not always easy to like, but she feels real, and that honesty makes it easy to care about what happens to her and the people she’s trying to protect. The book includes some romantic tension, but it never overshadows the bigger picture of power, control, and rebellion.

The pacing is slower at first, but that setup leads to major twists and a powerful ending that reframes everything that came before. Catching Fire raises the stakes in every way and proves to be a sequel that’s just as intense as the first book.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (Chronicles of Narnia) By CS Lewis - A Review

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” by C.S. Lewis transports readers to the magical world of Narnia, where timeless themes still resonate today. Two stand out most: first, that good ultimately triumphs over evil. Even when darkness seems to win, courage, loyalty, and kindness prove stronger in the end. Second, the story shows the power of people uniting for a purpose greater than themselves. When Aslan leads the Narnians against the White Witch, they fight not for selfish gain, but to protect freedom, life, and happiness — and they’re willing to sacrifice everything for it. 

The movie adaptation leaves out some moments from the book — for example, the children and the Beavers nearly drowning in thawing waters — but the heart of the story remains. I’d definitely recommend the book: its vivid descriptions bring Narnia to life, and it’s an unforgettable read.

The Nightingale: A review

Excellent, Hauntingly memorable. This book didn’t just impress me—it stayed with me. The story was so powerful and vividly told that I felt emotionally connected to the characters from the very beginning. 

Their pain, fear, and hope felt real, and I found myself wishing I could step into the pages and protect them from everything they endured. The sisters strength in the face of unimaginable hardship was deeply moving. I loved how the story highlighted the vital role women played during the war, showing not just their suffering but their resilience, courage, and determination. Their journeys were inspiring and left a lasting impact on me. This is a story that truly resonated with my heart. 

It’s one I’ll remember for a long time and always hold close because of how beautiful and meaningful it was. Whether you’re a fan of WWII historical fiction or not, I wholeheartedly recommend giving this book a chance. It’s the kind of story you’ll want to share with everyone once you’ve finished it.
