This book gave me many actual stomach aches. No book has ever done that before. But wow, it’s all just genius and incredible and to all the people who say this was fan service— you hate fun.

“Happy Birthday, Haymitch!”

My heart has been shattered and I don’t know if I’ll ever recover from this book.

Obsessed but I feel like thats not fair because I've always loved haymitch. This novel is so well spliced that their really aren't many plot irregularities. The characters are amazing and deep and it hurts to lose them even though you know it's inevitable.  The narrative voice is excellent feeling similar to Katniss, which is reasonable as their are similar people in canon, but also very distinct. Even from a random clip it is clear who is speaking. I do caution to not give into the hype about 'how 😭 😭 😭 ' the book is as while painful one walks in knowing that all of these people are dead and if it's not stated in previous books completely then the flags are large enough to see from space. The only thing truly holding this book back is that I want more, more to flesh out everything. I'd also preferred

if dove's death was something else because Haymitch's move with the candies was just stupid

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
