Warning: I wouldn't recommend reading unless you have read the rest of the series. Also this book is dark even more so than the main trilogy

making me cry my eyes out even more than any of the original books!!!
LENORE DOVE, I LOVE YOU LIKE ALL FIRE. Maybe Suzanne didn't quite have all of these prequels planned out while writing the original, because after reading this and Ballad, I wish Katniss had been Covey.
This was a great book and a great backstory for Haymitch. Although to be honest, after reading this, I am shocked Haymitch was a functioning alcoholic in the original trilogy... and I am terrified to see all of this on screen because it's gonna break me. 🫠
One of the things I loved most about this book is how it showed that the revolution was decades in the making before Katniss came along. It reminds me of H*rry P*tter and how just because he was The Boy Who Lived and our protagonist, the entire wizarding community was fighting against fascism long before the original series. These worlds are so much bigger than our original protagonists and all of the context and characters are crucial to the original protagonists' stories and heroism. Here, the plans of Plutarch and Beetee and Mags and everyone is incredibly important. Katniss became a great symbol for the revolution, and obviously drove a lot of it herself, but the original trilogy would not have happened without all of this work and building resentment and horrors that came before. Revolutions don't happen overnight and the seeds planted by characters like Plutarch and Beetee are crucial.
