This filled in so many blanks and answered so many questions we have asked for years about the series. I hated Haymitch like Katniss did in the beginning and now he is such a lovable character. My heart hurts for him

This book was amazing-I couldn't put it down. I love how seemingly effortlessly Collins can connect Haymitch's story to the rest. Everything from large plot points to tiny details puts this book high on the THG pedestal. Collins is such a talented writer, and it shows. This book was gritty, and constantly left you worrying about the characters that were so easy to fall in love with. This book also made me cry the most in the whole series, because it was so powerful in making me feel for the characters. The underlying theme of propaganda in this book is so well written and holds a fiery torch up to what our society may become if we continue down this dark path.

oh my god. insane. brutal. tense. gripping. thrilling. evil. shocking. jesus christ. i was locked the hell in from page one and it did not let up. just enough references to remind you of the rest of the series, but is still incredible fresh and some of the connections were still surprising like

THE MOCKINGJAY PIN. it didnt clock in my mind until the end when they mention it again

incredibly written, amazing characters. just such a treat but also i am emotionally wrecked.

THE HOUSE. HIS FAMILY. THE FUCKING GUM DROPS. the epilogue…..

suzanne collins has done it again folks. i liked this SO much more than songbirds and snakes. 
THE ALLUSIONS …. RAAAHHH
