I’m also convinced she’s read Crimson Rivers based on Haymitch’s Homecoming. I would hypothesize she is Bizarrestars but their writing styles are too different.

Haymitch is an easy character to like and get behind, and differs from Katniss in his way of observing the world. Because of this, you will inevitably be devastated by what occurs in the book and how he became the character we know in the Hunger Games book. Despite knowing it, the plot is engaging and reveals more information about the 50th Hunger Games to twist the knife later on. If I could sue an author for emotional damage, I'd come after you Suzanne!
Main flaws of this book are that the character writing is not evenly distributed well. For example, Haymitch's girlfriend has little character, yet one of the tributes he works with (Maysilee) had plenty of it to go around. You can tell some characters only exist to callback to the main cast or to explain their later actions. Additionally, I could tell there were times Collins had to give Haymitch plot armor during the Games to avoid writing herself into a corner. What you'd expect from a prequel written well after the main series.
There's so much meat to this book that I'm not getting at. You really have to have read the other books to fully enjoy this one. At any rate, reading all the theories and references online has brought me back to 2013 me. And in these times, I appreciate that.
