Suzanne did not hold back. She had something to say and she said it loud and clear. Question is, are we listening?

Almost speechless, honestly. How harrowing, chilling, revealing, unsettling, intriguing and captivating this novel is. For those who have already read the other four books in the Hunger Games series, this is an urgent must. Not only does the unraveling of Haymitch’s games answer questions and explain much of what happens later - but they establish such a fundamental understanding of his character and motives from there on out. Filled with poetic justice, subtle references, sweet side plots, satisfying Easter eggs and more - this is a shining “poster” on Collins’ wall.

In line with the level of content in other Hunger Games novels. Contextually graphic and severe. Vibrant descriptive imagery.

An incredible yet heartbreaking story that really rounds out the entire Hunger Games universe. It feels like the missing link that fills in gaps I never thought existed. It is not for the faint of heart and the  entire time I wanted to look away but could not put it down. Suzanne Collins’ ability to weave glimpses of our reality into her storytelling makes moments hit close to home. I  wish I could read it again for the first time to experience all the Easter eggs and twists.

Quin viatge tornar a Panem!
He estat ben enganxada a la lectura, tot i saber com acabaria tot i tractant-se d'un llibre que replica el primer de la saga... Però realment és tot tan sàdic i tràgic, que no ho podia deixar. Ara bé, m'ha faltat un punt de trencament emocional, sobretot al final, que no m'ha arribat. Els personatges, inoblidables: em declaro des de ja fan de la Maysilee i, evidentment, en Haymitch es confirma que és el millor.
