I enjoyed this book but at the same time I was hoping for a bit more. It felt like Collins took the easy way out writing another book about the reaping and games without any new nuanced commentary, twists, or even many new characters. Keeping to a limited cast of new characters and the same premise of the games really limited any expansion of the world of Panem. Lenore was basically the same panic pixie dream girl that Lucy was in Songbirds, and there were many characters from the original trilogy that seemed a bit forced into the book for fans to get excited. I really liked Maysilee but that’s about it for new characters with strong development. Also, since we know Haymitch survives, it was hard to feel a lot of tension in the games. Overall it was a “fun” read but doesn’t expand on the original trilogy in the way I was hoping for.
