Some of the best historical writing focuses on examining the practical aspects of trying to live in a another age. In the time Caught Fire is set, there's no power, no skycrapers, and the night is a scary place. Walking out of a home at midnight is usually an unhappy experience.

The back story is deftly laid out for us at the introduction, and begins setting the pace even as it's introducing us to our heroine, Jeanne. The first event in the story is fantasy, but it's done realistically, too!

Tane is a well-rounded character. I enjoy the conversations he and Jeanne have.

Here's a no-no:
"The next couple of days went by in a nearly normal fashion, compared to the latest three."
Show, don't tell. Simply start the story three days later and have the characters reflect that very little happened.

More later-- got to prepare for trick-or-treaters!
